"On Saturday, the pope warned 260,000 worshippers in Paris to 'shun the worship of idols'. ... He has replaced the 1960s silver papal pastoral staff with a gold Greek cross ... He asked that communion wafers consecrated for his visit be stored in ciboriums of precious metal, not earthenware, as had become the custom."

Yes, Hmm, indeed.

In his autobiography, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger wrote: 'I am convinced that the crisis of the church which we are living through today was largely caused by the disintegration of the liturgy.' "

Which crisis are we referring to exactly? Is that perhaps the crisis where churches who worship the liturgy itself instead of living as Christ taught us are declining? ... and I'm actually not even thinking specifically of Roman church although, I would consider the fruits of their hearts to be Romanist.

Which churches worship liturgies? The liturgy is the manner in which certain Christians (including Catholics) worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
