BY THE WAY, DR. PETER KWASNIEWSKI IS GIVING A LECTURE AT SACRED HEART CHURCH IN SAVANNAH TONIGHT, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9TH AT 6:30 PM. HIS TOPIC IS “WHAT’S REALLY REQUIRED FOR A ‘EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL: RETHINKING HOW WE APPROACH THE HOLY EUCHARIST”
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE, BUT IN THE MEAN TIME, READ THIS EXCELLENT COMMENTARY:

His book “The Once and Future Roman Rite” is excellent. I gave it to my pastor as a Christmas present!
sigh...another guy preaching old rites and practices will fix everything.
If that were the case, Vatican II, and the runaway freight train of "improvements" which followed, never would have happened at all, as everything was prevented by the old rites, right?...except that did not work then, and will not work now.
The problem then and now are leaders who could not find God or their behind with a flashlight, so next best thing is to concentrate on rites and doctrines.
Bob,
Except those that love the TLM believe what the Church teaches. I grew up before the Council and the Church and the Faithful were in a far better place than now under the hegemony of Brand X
Look, TJM, I am happy traditionalists which to conserve ancient traditions and doctrines. And I am quite upset that "modern progress" types are too stupid to see that playing fancy word games when changing everything and while denying changing anything, essentially make a sham of the Church containing any truth at all.
But, the total fixation on rites and doctrine, while traditionalists also generally unable to find God or their behinds with a flashlight, while living just as fixated on worldly things such as keeping up with the Joneses, and only differing in a few more thou-shalt-nots, and a few more rote prayers, all the while generally ignoring God moment by moment the same as their opponents, will fix absolutely nothing. By and large, they are just as phony as their opponents, which IS what led to this mess in the first place.
HAD traditionalists been leading folk to know God and answer those deepest yearnings of the heart, this mess never would have happened...but they did not, nor do they do so today, and all we have today is mostly Pharisees vs Sadducess V2.0.
Go ask any leader on either side to show you how to experience God and know God is real, and see what it gets you....
I freely admit traditional doctrines and rites offer a far better chance for a DIY type to find God, but no thanks to those running things, and that has been the problem all along.
