Godfred explained and discussed Vatican II as a "pastoral council," then gave one of the best expositions on the Blessed Virgin Mary I have ever heard. It was presented on a level any lay person could understand, but I felt like I was back in theology grad school and had several "aha's" regarding some prot/Catholic doctrines I had not re-visited in a while. It generated some really good discussion, as well. I do not know how you keep coming up with all these outstanding Vicars but, whatever you are doing, keep it up.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-14477231473573827182013-11-14T22:13:04.190-05:002013-11-14T22:13:04.190-05:00BTW, where are the altar rails you said we were ge...BTW, where are the altar rails you said we were getting for St. Jo's?

Nothing but vagueness, ambiguity mixed with silly liberal platitudes. A pope needs to do more than kiss babies and drive beat up old cars. He has not encouraged people to stop sinful behavior he has goon out of his way to make them comfortable in their sin, no pope has ever done that. He is a 70's liberal who is not orthodox in his teaching or practice, and I don't care how many altars pushed against a wall he says Mass at, the truth is he hates Tradition and will do all he can to further it's destruction. He has not stopped from the first minute to do whatever he wants. I say any priest who wants to put back the communion rails, push the altars against the wall, refuse to give communion in the hand (after all the pope has set the standard for ignoring liturgical norms he doesn't agree with, so why shouldn't a priest do the same) say only the old Mass go ahead regardless of what your bishop says. After all what will they do? Nothing. I say the next pope should come out onto that balcony wearing the tiara and sitting on the sedia regardless of who doesn't like it and immediately say he has no intention of canonizing a heretic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
