IF TRUE, MAYBE SOMEONE HAS GOTTEN TO POPE FRANCIS AND TOLD HIM THE PROGRESSIVES ARE TRYING TO DERAIL HIS PAPACY WITH THE TRADITIONALISTS? IF TRUE, BE HAPPY, NOT SAD????Fr. Allan J.

However, we can directly confirm the mozzetta's delivery on the evening of Monday, March 18. We will see in the coming days."MattJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-35232268091210025522013-03-19T06:17:43.680-04:002013-03-19T06:17:43.680-04:00Amen, Devin.Amen, Devin.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-53447930614932908762013-03-19T01:35:55.654-04:002013-03-19T01:35:55.654-04:00When Pope Benedict brought back the mozetta and wa...When Pope Benedict brought back the mozetta and was seen wearing it so often it gave me a sense of comfort. He looked the way a pope was supposed to look.<br /><br />Jesus said, "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such." We are often told that the scripture means we should approach God as a child approaches his parents.<br /><br />O.K. Kids don't like abrupt changes. Kids like continuity. Kids like to know that they can rely on their parents and that their parents aren't going to suddenly be different people or start acting differently.<br /><br />Papa Francis: Help your children! Let us know that you aren't going to pull the rug out from under us. You don't have to convince us that you are humble. It's OK to dress like a pope and have magnificent liturgies. The glory isn't about you, it's about God!Devin DeClerknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-9352502910754338752013-03-19T00:52:52.933-04:002013-03-19T00:52:52.933-04:00I just pray that if Pope Francis really intends to...I just pray that if Pope Francis really intends to focus on the poor or at least direct more attention from the universal Church to that area that he will leave the liturgy and ceremony in a very capable Msgr. Marini's hands. He is quite respected and has done very good things in the past that in this media age has linked Papal liturgies to those which we learn about as children in history books. The Pope is recognized as such. Marini is I suppose a liturgy expert and if Pope Francis does not have a liturgical backround this would be a good thing to do. I believe that a redirected focus on the poor, although let's see how many of the Progressives and liberal media members pull out their checkbooks who did not before, and the use of good liturgy and ritual elements can and should be balanced with one another. Continuing the familiar practices of the previous Pontificate and at the same time redirecting pastoral focus can be done. This is a truly great and humble opportunity. I think everyone under the large umbrella of the Church would be pleased to see a return to Tradition AND a renewed focus on the poor, bringing both together.Gregorian Massnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-40087939169917789032013-03-18T22:35:58.781-04:002013-03-18T22:35:58.781-04:00I hope we see it.I hope we see it.ytcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-53225501294673461982013-03-18T22:09:03.146-04:002013-03-18T22:09:03.146-04:00A mozetta is a small thing but the story as a whol...A mozetta is a small thing but the story as a whole (as well as certain aspects of yesterday's Mass) is causing me to feel more hopeful of continuity with Benedict's papacy.
