I read this article this morning and laughed. I laughed because at one time I attended a conference of Latin Mass devotees and John Vennari was one of the speakers. At that conference,he or one of the other of the five presenters suggested that the way things were going in the Church,it might soon be forced to go underground.

The answer to this imminent retreat to the catacombs was to remember the power of the rosary according to the speaker. He felt that Catholics could withstand a long siege by resorting to the recitation of the Rosary and asking Mary to pray for us until priests became available again.

I think I actually began,my now daily Rosary,as a response to that information. This article proves to me,beyond a reasonable doubt,that many of these "ultratrads", are obsessed with destroying the Primacy of Peter and Peter's Successor,himself. There is no depth to which they will not stoop to attack John Paul II. Here he is advocating for placing more emphasis on the Rosary,seeking to enrich and add to our meditations and contemplations about Christ and they use it as yet one more oppurtunity to point out how he errs. They are both very arrogant and misled at once.

Interesting how you always miss the point. It's not about you and it's not about John Paul II. It's about destroying the ancient Catholic faith.

Thanks for another wise post. It is important for people to understand that the Tridentine mass is a wonderful Mass but it is also important for them to understand that it is not the ONLY Mass and that the pope is not answerable to them. God bless you and yours.
