The essential difference between the traditional Catholic Mass (notice, by the way, that I didn't use the Conciliar/Orwellian newspeak of "Extraordinary Form") and the Novus Ordo service (or any other bastard rite) isn't about one's experience, but about the Novus Ordo service's radical deficiency in rendering the worship due to God. It's not about us.

Naturally speaking, the Church has made faith much more difficult by drastically reducing and mutilating her forms.Peccatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599809235629468196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-57033231636843301832013-07-26T16:25:04.222+01:002013-07-26T16:25:04.222+01:00Scruton also had some strong words for Papa Lucian...Scruton also had some strong words for Papa Luciani's trashing of the Papal Coronation.The Rad Tradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899289024837953345noreply@blogger.com
