Three blind men, three blind men
See how they run, see how they run
They all ran away from the Faith, my friend
They distanced themselves from God in the end
Is there anywhere that Jesus might send
These three blind men?

Sanford, after a month of cramming, performed his first public mass in 28 years. Thirteen worshippers attended.

Exactly enough for a coven.

lol

Truly though this is very sad. I am a convert to the Church and I love the new and improved translation.

Going back to the basics is not a bad thing unless of course you hate the idea of having a basic to start with.

These people sound like Nancy Pelosi Catholics. Don’t bother me with the facts of our faith, I have already made up my mind on what I will follow.

Why, Father, ladies and gentlemen, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world...but for “And also with you”?

Welcome to the Faith, my friend. May you be a better Catholic than I (probably not too difficult).

Very very sad; and the translation, although still needing substantial restoration, is very much improved. English is not a language of the Church, although the Church celebrates the Divine Liturgy in the vulgar - the language of the people (hence the name Vulgate). Latin is the second. Greek is the first.

Correct. The god in the mirror will tell you what to believe...

The Rev. Ed Sheridan, who led St. Aloysius on two occasions, says he regrets Sanford’s move. But he says he shares Sanford’s opinion about recent church changes. “We’re coming up on the anniversary of Vatican II, and it seems like we’re taking all these wonderful things and moving them backwards, rather than building on them,” he says.

Quote does not surprise me coming from Fr. Sheridan.

Heard him give a talk at Theology on Tap once; for a hopey changey priest he was very uncomfortable talking to 20- and 30-somethings and became severely uncomfortable when conversation veered toward Christ's Truth.

Oh isn’t that cute! They are playing “mass”. We used to do the same thing when we were kids. One of the boys would put on his mom’s cobbler apron and we all received white Necco wafers. *eyeroll*

Well Pope Benedict said that he wanted a leaner, stronger church. I wish them the best in their heresy.

“When he walks down the aisle to “We Gather Together,” three worshippers stand and sing along.”

There’s a Reformation Church a few blocks from where I live and “We Gather Together” is the hi-light on the board along with the theme that it’s a whole new church service adventure.

Bishop Jugis has relocated many of the battier old hippies out to the sticks. Hopefully we’ll get enough good new priests to take their places when they have to retire.

One man’s apostate is another man’s hero. Small c catholic is indeed what they are IMO.
