A positive sign of hope, considering that this magazine is liberal in its writings.
This priest has trod the first steps of a path that will transform him in ways he probably does not now imagine.
May the Grace of God likewise transform the whole Church.
BTTT! In America Mag, eh?
Unbelievable, but a good sign!
I note the way he says, “Well this is not changing my alleged priestly spirituality ...”
But I say unto Him, “You don’t know what you’ve gotten into or with Whom you are messing. You may find out what GOD’s ‘priestly spirituality’ is.”
Even the younger Catholics are very much interested in the Latin Mass.

Which never would have happened if that heretic Reese were still at the helm.
Fr. Z is encouraging priests to discuss the idea of the ‘loneliness’ of the Roman Canon that this priest mentioned in a post on his blog. The insights by the priests and laypeople who have posted are rather interesting so far.
Wonderful article.
Oddly, one of the things that struck him forcefully in saying the TLM was his own "instrumentality" -- a concept he attributes to V II! It is a good article -- honest and perceptive and searching, but there seems to be still a disconnect between his own perceptions while saying the TLM and the conclusions he draws, some confusion perhaps about the meaning and ramifications. One hopes he'll continue to say it and follow his insights to the end!
