"You plan to do Eucharistic Adoration at your kitchen table?"

At the rate things are going...

Look, in all honesty and I do mean this, it's really good to hear that you are gaining much from the Maronite rite. There's a lot left there that's not yet tampered with that's of tremendous value. And btw, I believe you to be 100% sincere in all your intentions and efforts.

But you're missing the point. You said this:

"Pascendi, dear, I am a middle-aged 'baby boomer', educated by the solidly formed catholic nuns of pre-Vatican II. In my 12 years of Catholic School education, NEVER did we attend Daily Mass, much less weekly Adoration of the Eucharist. This was unheard of back then, when the only Catholic liturgy celebrated in the USA (or anywhere else in the world) was the old Latin Mass. NEVER!!!"

And that's probably exactly how we ended up getting punished by all that is Post Conciliar in the first place. Nobody was doing what they were supposed to, and so we get rewarded with bad priests, bishops and p... well, never mind that. The Modernists were already at a fever-pitch of a problem by 1907. What would make you think that those lousy nuns and priests were anything but part of internal decay?

Vatican II isn't the first cause of the problem. But it made the problem look legit. It codified the problem. It was an effect. But in turn, the effect becomes the cause of more problems.

You know what the solution is; Our Lady of Fatima made very clear what the solution is. Everybody does that, and things change. They don't, and they won't.
