Here's more questions you no doubt won't answer either, did you complain to the local bishop about what you witnessed in Naples, including references to specific violations of the GIRM and Canon Law? Have you ever put pen to paper and written to the CDF or a bishop or do you simply sit on your hands and flap your gums about how terrible things are?

Hello. I just posted a reply to you and others. It takes time to get free info from a lawyer!

As for Naples, what can one do? Buy some tickets to the oh so hey Father Jerry show, and watch in horror as all those suckers get a Las Vegas Passion Play, complete with a live simulated crucifixion that was more homoerotica than religious. Liberace will always be an icon as long as Father Jerry is ministering to the young kids of SW FL.
The diocese quite obviously knows about this guy, and also about the shyster with the hair, who uses that music room at the Anonymous Catholic Church to make a promo video about him and his music, and and and...charges those old folks 20 bucks a head!!!

As for the last part of your insult, I was a visitor to that area, and I certainly did tell the priest about my shock at seeing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on the altar. Not even a crucifix. I was stunned. Then I was really, really mad.

I saved the best for last. The very butch nuns I mentioned earlier ran the Offertory. All the young teens, dressed in ripped jeans, shorts, tight T-shirts, etc. participated (God forbid that any of them learn to strive for an honour) but was really fascinating to me, was that while the boys genuflected before the altar, the girls, all of them believe me, only bowed from the waist. The girls DID NOT genuflect before the Host. It was very creepy.

I am simply fed up with people who go along to get along. Maybe it's OK for some things, but when it's my faith, and my faith is on the line because of a battered image and destroyed reputation, when good priests are tarred with the same brush as the Geoghans, and when we start sniping at each other on a message board instead of standing up to the Rainbow Sash Terrorists and kicking them the hell out of our churches, we fail. The homosexual perverts have declared war on the Roman Catholic Church, and by saying nothing, and doing nothing, and being uncomfortable but taking it, we are letting them win.
