Do you acknowledge that Benedict XVI is making progress to reform the reform?
If not, why not?
>>Do you acknowledge that Benedict XVI is making progress to reform the reform?<<
I acknowledge that The Holy Father is attempting to “reform the reform”. However, “the reform” is long past what was intended by Vatican II and has blown into rampant progressive goo. And for every St. Louis and Lincoln NE, there are two Saginaws or Eries. Add to that all of CA and most of NY.
Now let’s assume that everyone adopts the new Missal. Then B16 has made progress. However, no one has been able to answer a simple question, “What if they don’t?” In my area, I know of parishes that would go through convulsions if they had to utter a phrase in Latin or Greek. Saying “And with your Spirit” is going to be “Just too hard on them” What will happen? A firmly written letter? Just like the handholding and glass vessels?
Talk to me AFTER the progress has been made.
