I don’t like it either. I think revising our mass/church to appeal to modern culture is/was a big error. I think these trends demean the sense of the spiritual. I am so disappointed and have been since Vatican II.

Ditto. I hate to say it, but it's becoming pretty clear that the 'modernists' have regained the upper hand. Looking back, the forces of modernism achieved their greatest successes during the pontificate of Paul VI. JP2 pretty much held the line against the modernists. And B16 even pushed the line back a bit. Now, it's starting to look like 1969 all over again. :(

There's a difference, though. New communications technologies exist, and the traditionalist camp is informed and energized and isn't necessarily going to go down without a fight.

The problem is that “Modernism” is a heresy. It was defined in 1907 by Pope St. Pius X in his encyclical “Pascendi Dominici Gregis.” The short definition of this heresy is that one can believe anything one wants, because who knows what Truth is, anyway?

It is impossible to believe 2 contradictory things at the same time. Either the Church teaches the Truth, or it is full of errors and heresy. I believe our Church is in the greatest crisis since the heresy of Arianism.

We need some bishops to stand up and proclaim the Truth, like St. Athanasius did.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
