I came back to the church after years of apostacy and am facinated by the discussions of so-called traditionalist Catholics. Frankly, they seem to be the only ones who will engage in dialogue on issues such as where the Tabernacle should be placed. When I asked my parish priest that question, he almost jumped out of his vestments and literally ran off!

I’m not Catholic - but I can understand some of these people’s adverse reactions to the Pope’s washing of their feet. Not that I agree - just understand.

The Apostles were pretty taken aback when Jesus first washed THEIR feet.

As a founding member of my parish's Schola Cantorum, I have a certain respect and affection for the Rad Trads, but ...

(you knew there ws going to be a "but," right?)...

...but on this issue of the Washing of Feminine Feet, in my (ignorant and reformable) opinion, it is not Pope Francis who is giving scandal, but the anti-papist^* wing of the Rad Trads.

Gol-lee, with fideles like these, who needs the sensus infidelium?! It's hard enough here on Free Republic dealing with wolfpacks of sado-evangelicals, and now this?! (No, dear reader, of course I do not mean you.)

Tax-chick, I look always to you for a whiff of sanity. What do you say?
