He knows that a strong faith works against his personal goal of universal marxism.It is truly bizarre that the form of the Mass practiced for hundreds of years is now looked upon as "extreme." Think about that; how can such a thing be?<br /><br />It only happens when someone claims to know more than all the generations that have preceded him. It is marx and world government on the march.<br /><br />Fr. D+<br />Anglican Priest<br /><br />PS: My son is a Latin Mass RC, and he fronds on the Novus Ordo very strongly.

Many of the Latin-rite RCs (I know quite a few personally) take Trent very seriously, usually teach their kids the Baltimore Catechism, etc. The press might call them "fundamentalist catholics" (which would be hilarious), we might call them confessionally Roman...They are as against postmodernism and American pop evangelicalism as we are, but take a harder stance against Protestantism and Lutheranism than your generic mega-church RC. They often attend Mass daily, honor the church's teaching on contraception, their women wear mantillas during services, usually they receive Communion only in one kind (bread).<br /><br />It's actually a lot easier to talk to a Latin-rite Roman Catholic because you know where they stand and you can appeal to their confessional documents in discussion and they know what you're talking about.

That said the services are few and far between for a variety of reasons. One of theme being to the unavailability of priests who are familiar with Latin.<br /><br />Sure, many of the traditional Catholics as they call themselves favor it, but they may be whistling past the graveyard. I doubt that even 1% of the masses in the U.S. are done using the Latin mass.<br /><br />I believe Pope John Paul II brought it back from obscurity and his successor, Pope Benedict 16th was for it, too. Perhaps, the current pope, Francis, is against excesses like the one illustrated in your example where they may be using the Latin one exclusively.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
