The task facing traditionalists is to claw back, inch by inch, everything that was lost in the 1960s, until the Church is restored to its full integrity. It will mean trench warfare for decades, probably generations; but, for the first time, the heretics are on the defensive and they will be defeated. Hear! Hear!

Speaking of trench warfare (and I guess this is off-topic, if related), the archdioces of Boston is signing on to RENEW International. Anyone know anything about it?
They left questionnaires to be filled out at the back of the church. Overall, they're leftish (should your parish have more financial transparency? -- I'd like to see some financial transparency on the part of RENEW) and inane. I tried to look into it on the internet -- one thread from a few years ago on FR talked about Wiccan elements, which today aren't obvious on their website.
They offer books for sale -- but there's not enough description to make a judgement, and no authors are listed. They use the phrase "the Catholic tradition" (reminiscent of the Paulist Center!), and the Dominican nuns involved have a "Palestinian solidarity" project.
Have they improved over the years or are they just more devious?

This is welcome news - but as the Priest at Mass said this morning, the motu proprio of Benedict XVI requires the Novus Ordo rite during the holiest time the year, Good Friday, Saturday, and Easter Sunday ...

Such good reading. I’m really encouraged. Happy Sunday, all. We have our Divine Liturgy at 5 pm because we don’t have our own church building yet. I will remember to pray for all the promise of the COUNTER-REVOLUTION to come to pass.

We can also adapt it to current American politics, thus:
The task facing conservatives is to claw back, inch by inch, everything that was lost since the 1960s, until the Republic is restored to its full integrity. It will mean trench warfare for decades, probably generations; but, for the first time, the heretics are on the defensive and they will be defeated.
