We revived some processions in our Cathedral parish a few years ago, and our young associate priest has been doing the Corpus Christi procession every year (and it’s growing).

This year, we got a “liturgist,” who says these processions are “embarrassing” and “too Spanish,” and of course she is backed by our newish modernist pastor (who says they violate separation of Church and State because the police block off the street so we can cross it!). If there’s one thing that modernists in the Catholic Church hate, it’s traditional public displays of faith.

But it’s sad that we have to worry not only about enemies on the outside, who hate any public expression of the Faith, but enemies among the Catholic clergy itself.

Too "Spanish"? Isn't that showing a little bit of bigotry? And some of these same people want as many illegal immigrants to come to this country?

Besides, this "liturgist" should clue in these guys in Germany they're being too "Spanish."

a “liturgist,” who says these processions are “embarrassing” and “too Spanish,”

what the heck?

I thought the "liturgists" liked "spanish" stuff ... they sure don't hesitate to drown us in treacly modernists "hymns" with lyrics in pidgen-spanish.

My priest asks what the difference between a liturgist and a terrorist is and the answer is...”You can reason with a terrorist.”
