Do you feel that the conclave rejected the guidance of the Holy Spirit?
How in the world can anyone who claims the name of Christ SWEAR in church because a tradition of man is violated?? I understand people grow comfortable with certain things, but that is a wicked thing to do.
And then run out and skip Sunday Mass...
Definitely an inability to see the forest for the trees.
Fortunately not a widespread reaction. :)
I know. I prefer the older rite myself. Most traditional Catholics are fine, but there’s a handful of people there who are a little too tightly wrapped. I suppose that’s likely to be true in anything that’s a little unusual and attracts people who might be a little different themselves.
If the SSPX ever gets integrated into the Church, I think it will help because then the traditional rite folks will feel part of a larger group and perhaps not be so suspicious and hostile.
Well, I would head out myself but only after silently genuflecting as normal. The NO is dangerous to my personal faith — been there, done that.
