I am ...Anon2...THAT is a very interesting comment. I am a boomer (my birthday is smack dab in the middle of the 18 year age range typically used to define the boomer generation) and have pretty much accepted the hype that it is my generation that is responsible for every negative thing in the world but upon reflection what you say sticks. In fact, I was 7 years old when Vatican II was held. I played guitar mass when I was 13. The oldest boomer when I was 13 would have been just 22 years old. How can the boomers be fully responsible for the decline? Boomers didn't initiate it...but, there would be some truth in saying we certainly furthered it along. And that is consistent with what Pastor Peters says when he indicated boomers "contributed".<br /><br />With regard to the different era of priests expecting different things. That is very interesting, too. In my Church concelebration of visiting clergy is very common...almost the rule rather than the exception. I don't know that it's an age thing though. I'll have to ask around.Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511317203353075644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-90232027015447699972011-07-07T22:54:56.585-05:002011-07-07T22:54:56.585-05:00not so sure

The Boomers are guilty mostly of being the young and undiscerning minds that received it. <br /><br />FWIW, I am genX, not a Boomer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-39022406440216834242011-07-07T15:44:09.871-05:002011-07-07T15:44:09.871-05:00Thank you for your thoughts.

Although I'm not old/experienced enough to see the differences as generational per se, I certainly do see the different groups you mention.Michael Paul 白霈德牧師https://www.blogger.com/profile/15929053729867491255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-87296728843441121062011-07-07T10:08:49.359-05:002011-07-07T10:08:49.359-05:00Every generation of clergy has the
