Ruff "MY way or the highway." Typical "liberal."
Actually, the principal Mass on the Sunday following Corpus Xi was usually celebrated as an external solemnity, with the procession following in the afternoon, in Protestant countries for the simple reason that the Thursday was not a public holiday.
In Bavaria and Austria, where 'Frohnleichnam' is a holiday, Mass and procession are in the morning, after which everyone repairs to the beer garden. Quintessentially Catholic! Especially the procession in boats on the lake!
Ruff is always good for a laugh. He and his cronies are so attached to the Bugnini Mass that they will brook no criticism of it, or of its progenitor, and assume that everyone else thinks the same.
Definition of a liberal - someone who will defend to the death your right to agree with him.
John Nolan,
HA!!! I loved your definition of a liberal.
It seems odd that a person who supports a program of reformation objects further reformation.
rcg,
You're walking about a reactionary liberal. Once they achieve what they want, then their position must be canonized for all time. Per omnia saecula saeculorum!
YEs, the Catholic progressives are about as open-minded as Democratic senators up in DC, the cast majority of whom will reject Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, like that awful Patty Murray of Washington, who says Gorsuch does not stand up for "women's rights" (which of course primarily mean abortion on demand). If you are unable to find any mention of the word "abortion" in the Constitution, well, the progressives (some of them Catholic unfortunately) would tell you the Constitution is a "living, breathing document that evolves with the times." Which is how we have gotten so many rulings that undermine our Judeo-Christian heritage.
Paul VI said dialogue would be the principal methodology of the post-conciliar Church. Since this silly monk seems to have no interest in dialogue, I'd say he is unaffected by the reforms of VCII.
Except, if you’ve read up on the evolutions and reforms of the calendar throughout history and especially in the 20th century, you’ll know that this would be highly displeasing to lots of people who accept the post-V2 liturgical reforms. There are only two octaves now, and for a reason that is compelling to many or most of us. And “external solemnity,” what’s that? It’s not in the rite as reformed.
