I know we can't boast a brain of Britain among the bishes but they are usually coherent in their outlandish statements.<br />As for clericalism, it never went away and the greatest exponents of it are, yes, the bishops. Shut your mouth if you have anything to say about the Soho Masses or about the Government sex education programme in Catholic schools, just for two. <br />So much for the priesthood of the laity. It exists all right, but only if you say 'yes, Your Grace' to whatever is meted out.<br />While Christians are being persecuted and done to death in the Middle and Far East, we are treated to this farcical summary of Catholicism in 21st century.<br />It makes you want to weep.georgemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-1694727463100352342010-12-31T16:30:50.085+00:002010-12-31T16:30:50.085+00:00I think the homily reinforces the belief among tho...I think the homily reinforces the belief among those who are attracted by the TLM that those who are most vigorously against, or are suspicious of it, express more a fear of what they don't understand.

And of those who have committed such offences, many were trained and entered active ministry post-Vatican II when the celebration of the Trtaditional Mass was more or less extinct.<br /><br />In fact, the Traditional Latin Mass has much less to do with the personality of the Priest than the New Rite Mass. The rubrics are very carefully laid out, and must be carried out to the letter, leaving little scope for the Priest's own personality to come to the fore; it is the Mass itself that is important. <br /><br />There are other points within this sermon that I would take issue with, such as the fact that the congregation are merely spectators, but the above point is the most important one. It is offensive to suggest that the abuses of an albeit small number of priests can be in any way related to the celebration of the old form of the Mass, and this comment should be retracted.Tom Sharplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111526677592346467noreply@blogger.com
