I can honestly say that where I grew up we had May Crowning (and it still happens) and Friday afternoon Benediction complete with Monstrance and incense, but there are so many things described here that reflect my childhood. Would that this could be repaired.
And even more vital - would that the people about my age would care enough to learn about it.
Father Rego used to be in Connecticut where he said some Tridentine Masses. Terrific preacher!
"Would that this could be repaired." It is now up to those of us who know and care. Fr. Fessio, in his interview with Hugh Hewitt the other day, said that homeschool is like the monasteries were in the Middle Ages -- a place where the true faith and true history are taught and honored, where they are passed on to the next generation.
We need, as well, people who cherish the faith to teach the catechism classes. Does anyone know if you have to be trained/ certified to do that? (new Catholic here). Does orthodoxy have to be set by the priest in that parish?
