However, I recall being chatted up by a young male religious who said he hoped it was true that your father had a mistress; no doubt he would be cheered to know of your existence. It might take the sting off the news that I tell tales out of school and in CWR, har har.Mrs McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095035617334068201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-73445511188659594012016-01-13T12:44:37.552+00:002016-01-13T12:44:37.552+00:00His radical self-giving to the lady mentioned on t...His radical self-giving to the lady mentioned on the Internet is, thankfully,the reason I exist today!

Those people are a minority as most of the people who fill the pews today are there to just get a little religion. That explains why thousands of them keep going to places where the priest behaves foolishly and the ritual is non-existent. The point is that traddies are a minority within a minority. Anyway such reflections are really unbecoming someone of my status, what I should really be doing is writing a verbose book about the sociological shape of current liturgical practice, as that would be more in keeping with my father's legacy, as opposed to writing on your blog (no insult intended).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959404760859071433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-42681374603174127062016-01-09T17:03:25.865+00:002016-01-09T17:03:25.865+00:00Oh, but I didn't answer your question.

However, this is Scotland, where the Church's primary problem is the small number of priests and so churches are being closed left and right. Eventually poor Scottish Catholics will have to drive for hours to get to a Novus Ordo, so if the E.F. is nearer, then perhaps they will just buy a missal and go to that. In related news, another one of our chaps has just gone off to seminary.Mrs McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095035617334068201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-46115243242440780092016-01-09T15:14:56.834+00:002016-01-09T15:14:56.834+00:00USA.

Then I moved to a place where the EF Mass was even more convenient than it had been, but I only went to it twice. There were so many OF Masses in town that were gorgeous, reverent and with better preaching.<br /><br />Why do so many wonderful priests who offer the EF give either boring or terrible homilies? Homilies about sin can be great, but homilies in which the facts are just wrong are tedious. Also, fellow congregants, I do not want to have conversations that start off with, "The Jews..." Fear of Jews & related conspiracy theories are not a fine old Catholic tradition worth keeping!<br />Jilliannoreply@blogger.com
