ahhh...I don't believe that the article warrants an attack on PJBuchanan--arguably the most intelligent RC on the political scene, and possessed of a VERY fine sense of history.

BTW, he's correct, your curious comments about Africa and the Phillipines aside.

The fact that he happens to agree with SSPX and FSSP (among hundreds of thousands of OTHER, N.O. Faithful) is simply a matter of recognizing truth. It hurts. Too bad.

I've lived in two AFrican countries, and in the Philippines.

If you prefer, I could write that Jesus doesn't care if the person is a white rich TV commentator or a poor Osage or Chippewa woman. Or if the commentator was college educated snob or an Okie from Muscogee...

Jesus founded a church, not a cult based on medieval customs. I loved the Latin mass, but the way we approach God is based on our own culture. I have no problem with Latin masses in St. Paul Minnesota, nor masses with Apache chants in New Mexico, nor Guitar masses in Ipiales Colombia, nor with African dances with drums and dancing.

I do have a problem with people who think good Catholics who think Gregorian chant and Latin are boring means they can't be Catholic.

There has been problems after every council, partly diabolic, and partly due to the customs of men.

A lot of what Buchanan et al loved is not Catholicism but the Jansenistic rules of pre vatican II Catholicism in the USA.
