Restoration of the reception ...Thank you, Brandsma.<br />Restoration of the reception of Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling is essential, I think, and I would add ad-orientem worship: facing the folk cannot help but make Mass a dialogue between priest and people rather a praise and petitioning of God by weak and sinful man.<br />God bless you and yours.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-13095185142172641772014-02-27T21:31:25.997+00:002014-02-27T21:31:25.997+00:00Thank you, viterbo,

There is little of the General Instruction's note that it is an act of propitiation and satisfaction for sin.<br />Honestly, those who have lost sight of the Mass as a making up to God for sin and see it as an affirmation of the people, have lost the Faith.<br />God bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-51246835571917347342014-02-27T20:10:18.430+00:002014-02-27T20:10:18.430+00:00I think a good step in the right direction that th...I think a good step in the right direction that the Pope can implement without delay would be to restore Holy Communion on the tongue and kneeling.

I get a numbing sense that for too many priests mass is simply a text-book psychodrama with very little psyche or drama - as if it's a free Sunday morning life coaching session, oh and with breakfast. the is no worship at all. we gather, we chatter, meet and greet and pass the peace and the latest bacterial nasty, yawn through, 'me me me, here I am lord, look at me me me', songs, do the sidewalk shuffle to the priest while the extraordinary old lady stands there waiting for some one to validate her belief that consecrated hands aren't everything. overheads, obligatory comic-stand-up from the priest, little girls fussung about the step with the table on it. <br /><br /> A Bishop will drink champagne or a rich single malt with relish - these are the privilages of grown-ups; but concent to reverence, the sacred tongue, solemnity, beauty, a sanctuary, at Holy Mass where we meet Our Lord at Golgotha, well, for bishops, nothing's too childish, nothing's too cheap. so it seems.<br /><br /><br />pray for the Traditionalist Apostolate.<br /><br />God bless and keep you in His mercy and Our Lady intercede for you and yours.<br /><br />Yours in Christ<br />S<br />Our Lady of Good Success-pray for us.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14746510579669229511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-55643425629153537412014-02-26T23:23:47.178+00:002014-02-26T23:23:47.178+00:00Thank you, Jacobi.

As with all of us, I shall have to answer to God for not being without sin, but not for having (knowingly) preached error or celebrated worship with the primary focus on making the people feel good about themselves <i>per se</i>, but good about God and their redemption.<br />God blessFr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-43280750598881679922014-02-26T21:59:34.932+00:002014-02-26T21:59:34.932+00:00From Jacobi
Father,
The post Vatican II church, ...From Jacobi<br /><br />Father,<br /><br />The post Vatican II church, some 50 years on, is in a grave condition. Secularist concepts have soaked into Catholic thinking, both of the laity and increasingly, of the clergy. The campaign for the divorced and remarried to be admitted to Holy Communion is the obvious example, but if that demand is conceded, it will be followed by another, then another. The concept of sin has effectively evaporated, as is indicated by the empty confessionals.<br /><br />The changes in the liturgy have been a failure and are a major factor in producing this collapse. The Catholic Church is following the various Protestant bodies down the road to Relativism. Sadly, the Hierarchy still seem to be largely in a state of denial. Full of brave words but they never turn to see the mess behind them.<br /><br />Benedict XVI said we must expect a smaller Church for a while. I am beginning to think it will be smaller than anyone so far has expected.<br /><br />Your solution is correct. Preach the Catechism, the Ten Commandments, from the pulpit – but don’t be surprised if your flock complain to your bishop – or just walk away <br />Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.com
