Bagadonuts? If their Eminences are correct, and I believe them to be (and would guess our dear host does too based on his fastidious observance of every jot and tittle of 1962), then this is dangerous for souls. Alternatively, adherence to the books is optional, for Ratzinger and Bagadonuts.<br /><br />It it so typically and unfortunately Catholic to suggest, as you do, that those of us who are scandalized by this are not real Catholics.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03460160852554584365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-7573840880178865432011-03-04T20:44:51.766+00:002011-03-04T20:44:51.766+00:00If the pope making utterances under his breath, or...If the pope making utterances under his breath, or doing strange things with the thurible, or celebrates Mass in the EF, OF, Sarum, Byzantine, or Mozarabic forms endangers the faith of Catholics-- in what are man-made rites --then those Catholics never had a very strong faith to start with. Irrespective of the liturgical floor show used to entertain, amuse,inspire, and instruct them, it's just a matter of time before they leave altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-2145140239806499492011-03-04T15:27:57.402+00:002011-03-04T15:27:57.402+00:00How about this fellow Fr.

Where does he get off mumbling strange prayers under his breath at the Offertory and doing weird gestures with the thurible? I think there may be other horrors as well. I do hope Father Bux or one of the good Eminences let's him know that this causes "serious damage to the faith of Catholics."Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03460160852554584365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-32771286957296619122011-03-04T13:06:31.532+00:002011-03-04T13:06:31.532+00:00Sounds like the good Cardinals have finally gotten...Sounds like the good Cardinals have finally gotten around to reading the US bishops' 1972 document on Music in Catholic Worship. Its most famous quote was the blunt "Good celebrations foster and nourish faith. Poor celebrations weaken and destroy faith."Pachusnoreply@blogger.com
