BTW, I did a followup on my blog on this, with some info from another story on it from Kath.net. Here's the Kath.net story:

One of the funniest parts is this:

Suffragan bishop Paul Vollmar of Zurich told in a radio interview, that during a meeting on liturgical aspects, his German and Austrian colleagues have rebuked the idea to allow homilies by lay people: "Suddenly all of them approached me and said: You Swiss are really the pestilence in Europe."

Just as the new liturgy was invented by humanists with very little faith, it has been sustained by pontiffs with very little faith. This pope especially has been over-celebrated for having done very little except cave every time he has been called upon to show some backbone. What is infuriating is that he does this even as he pretends to care about Tradition. The last time he wimped-out was when the bishops decided they would do away with kneeling for Communion. He warned this would diminish faith in the Real Presence, but he surrendered to them anyway. Thus his actions speak far louder than his words--and they are all about throwing-away our patrimony and diminishing Catholicism. John Paul II simply lacks the spine to be a good pope.
