I hope he fires "Pope Donnie" and reforms the Catholic (so-called) Diocese of Erie.

I can't help but think there are higher priorities to deal with.

The fact that much of the Church throughout the Western world is doing its own thing, often in direct defiance of Vatican doctrines.

The fact that so many Catholics regard abortion as OK, and their local churches support them in that view.

I know JPII was always going to be a hard act to follow, but I'm a little disappointed in Benedict so far.

After only a couple of months? The liturgy is one thing and the most important thing because it deals with how we worship GOD! If we can get that right, a lot of other things will fall into place. BTW, it's up to Catholics to read up on their faith and inform their conciences. The Church can't do everything for them.

I'm sure you'll agree it is the Church's role to provide leadership.

At his peak, JPII provided marvelous leadership. He actually kept me in the fold at a time when disgust with what was happening elsewhere almost saw me walk.

Sadly, there seems to have been little strength or direction from Rome in the past year or so. At a time when the forces against God are strong, we need that leadership back.

The restoration of the liturgy is necessary to reigning in the so-called "Spirit of Vatican II." I predict that Mass attendance will improve dramatically now that B16 is going to stop the insanity. The liturgy of Novus Ordo Masses are just too open to abuse. Altar girls, Eucharistic ministers, lay readers, Mass facing the people, no Communion rail, guitars instead of an organ, Communion under both kinds, liturgical dancers, and the responsorial psalm where we have to repeat the same sentence in a monotone like zombies have played a part in driving people away from Mass. If we go back to praying like Catholics, we will eventually go back to believing and behaving like Catholics, too.

I don't feel any less a Catholic because I go to the "new" Mass. I'm sure the Lord thinks no less of me because I speak to Him in Enlish rather than Latin.

It's not the way Mass is said, it's the message (or lack of it) coming from the pulpit that is impacting.

We need a strong, loud, clear Church now.

"I can't help but think there are higher priorities to deal with."

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost...

What this doesn't say is which Mass will be said in Latin.

I don't see the return of traditional Mass at the Vatican as the panacea for the problems the worldwide Church is currently facing.

I only wish it was.
