Just went to a new parish Mass last night. Phew! Certainly Catholic priests are not usually the great preachers you find in other denominations but this man was asleep on his feet. His “sermon” was something about Steve Jobs - I’m still not clear what the point was. And then when a sloppy woman started handing out Holy Communion...

We are sitting there enduring nearly blasphemy and an intolerable desecration of piety at every mass. How long, I wonder, do we keep quiet and risk our own salvation for doing so. That is what I am wondering. These priests should be ashamed. We are without shepherds entirely.

It is mortal combat to beg for a Tridentine Mass, because it is so openly despised by the clerics and bishops. The reaction is personal, as if you had spit on their shoe. Disgusting.

I hold on painfully for the blessed Holy Eucharist, and pray for either blindness against what I witness, or the courage to raise hell about it. I hear no answer, so far.
Perhaps God intends to strike against it, Himself.

They cut the passion reading in half today last year it was a sit down. Vacant make the people suffer. Message is ‘this is not important. What you people think is important is important’

Priest is not in charge the people are. The cantor showed up during the intro. Guitar in hand interrupting the prayer and wearing below the knee faded denim shorts baggy Tee shirt. Big b ball shoes The cantor on Palm Sunday.

The order is broken the priest will not take charge and the congregation is not allowed to correct each other This government take over of society leeches down to this

The authority comes from above. Yet it doesn’t

And the priests are fluffing around as if to say ‘this is something like what we used to do before the laity told us to stop and that mass has to be entertaining.

And there are very few priests now

How can they not see their responsibility in this mess ?

The lack of authority and direction. It’s as if they don’t like Catholicism either

Every one of them should emulate good holy priests

Half the Catholics in the us votes pro abortion foisting this mess on us

Out of order

Bad behavior is exalted even at mass
