If you want to bring back seven years outside the church in sackcloth and ashes for these three offenses, fine by me.
If Pius XII was opposed to antiquarianism, why did he restore the "ancient practice" of the washing of the feet on Holy Thursday, which had fallen out of favor for hundreds of years?
Antiquarianism is, again, one Pope trying to bind another, liturgically. There is no precedent for that in the Church.
But Pius XII didn't change the Ordinary of the Mass or the Canon. Anyway, what was wrong with keeping the Mass the same? If it aint broke why fix it?
Point 1: What was the reason to call Vatican II? The other councils had been called during or as a result of heresies, anti-clericalism, etc... (Trent, Vatican I, Constance)? And from what I have heard, it is only a pastoral council.
Point 2: I feel that the current church comes across as being too "tolerant" and not being proud of being Catholic. anybody have an opinion on the subject?
