<> sandy, one of the most scandalous acts a "traditionalist" is forced to endure is witnessing a faithful Catholic enjoying themselves. You appear to be a normal Catholic in union with your Bishop and Rome and you enjoy yourself. You are considered a dupe and the "traditionalists" flatter themsleves they are the Church militant-without-whom-we-would-perish-and-why-in-the-hell-don't-we-not-only-recognise-that-fact-but-praise-them-for-their-loyalty?

Look, for some "traditionalists, unless you are in a feverish state of finger-pointing and denouncing, you are a dupe of the devil. These sorts of sites,Seattle Catholic, Diocese Report etc,are not about confirming one's Faith. They are about the businesss of hysteria, overreaction, hyperbole, chicken-littling etc. They really do appear to think if they don't "act" all is lost. Such Faith:)

Black Elk described his Parish. I go to a Pauline Rite Parish with a great solid, orthodox, Priest whose sermons are superior to any I ever heard at an Indult Mass. There are PLENTY of young couples with many children who sit quietly and attentively at Mass. We have many Blacks, Hispanics and others at our Masses. We have several Jewish converts at out Masses. I attend my Pastor's Bible Study - I will be there tonight studying Galatians. I have never met a SINGLE "traditionalist" who knew one-half as much as he does about the Bible

Starting in December, I will be going nightly to one of his retreats focused on how to live in closer union with Jesus. My Bishop is smashing, Bishop Sean Patrick O'Malley. There is a LOT of good news out there. A corner has been turned but so-called trads won't admit it. They feel too important in their role of "warrior" assuring the Churhc of its salvation. If normalcy reigns, who would pay attention to these self-annointed "saviours" anymore?

Sandyeggo, you are a great witness here. Sane, normal, happy. We need 999 more Million just like you. God Bless you<>

So your priest and parish is doing as well it can (which can be quite well, like the Toronto Oratory) with second-best.

But your pastor won't live forever, and presumably he will be transferred at some point to another parish. Your new bishop has only so many priests to work with. What's to prevent him from replacing him with a liberal dud who will undo all his good work?
