I see this phenomena all around me, and have observed it for some time now, being of the pre-Vat 11 era myself. These “liberal” septuagenarians and octogenarians, many who started orthodox but have since absorbed the relativist and fashionable concepts of compromise, know now that they have messed it up but, but seem ever more desperate to justify the false path they have taken. <br /><br />What annoys me is that so many of our clergy who understand what has gone wrong are, frankly, afraid to robustly correct these errors, so intimidated are they by the “liberal oldies” and the fear of a walk out! <br /><br />It really is up to our priests. This cannot be said too forcefully. If they do not find the courage to begin to preach Catholicism again from the pulpit, and it must be from the pulpit, how else can the 70s, and 80s intuitive but ignorant Catholic generations now be catechised, then Christ’s Church will not recover. And if there are walk-outs, they should remember that Christ watched the rich young man walk away but did not call him back.<br />Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-68815344027857579702013-01-20T17:38:25.849+00:002013-01-20T17:38:25.849+00:00Yes!

What was the buzz word used to describe hippies? Ah yes boring old *****!

Too many Catholics forget we are the Church Militant and have the duty to preserve orthodoxy in the Church. As laymen and women, we cannot shirk our responsibilities.<br /><br />We need more intellectual Catholics, as well. <br /><br />God bless you and your family.Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.com
