Let me state clearly: the queers who ran the 'implementation' both in Rome and over here were queers. Among other things, queers are SUBVERSIVES--Mike Jones at Fidelity/Culture Wars has put together a very solid case. What will they subvert? The Church!! What else? Start with the Mass, and destroy all that is sacred. Chant is good--thus replace it with Hootenanny. Organ is good--replace it with gittar/banjo/fingercymbals.
Sacred space and time is good--replace it with warped "art" and applause. No thanks on the incense, and bells.

It's not resistance from these perverts: it's downright subversiveness. They are ENEMIES of the CHurch, and draw a damn nice living from Her.

Most of the liturgy-committee- ministers are simply stupid in EVERY sense of the word. THey are ignorant of history, art, moment, time, space, ceremony, elegance, truth, goodness, and beauty. They resist because Chant and Latin require THOUGHT--something they don't have the tools or time to deal with.

Further, Aquinas has stated that sin 'dims the mind.' Their fruits tell us all we need to know about them.

I'll call them ignorant, apathetic and uninterested, but not stupid. Not the ones I know. They have the time and the tools, but don't see the need. Of course, we are talking about people who refuse to go to the Christmas Vigil at Midnight because it's too hard to get up the next morning (the biggest mouth in that bunch didn't even wrap presents when her kids were little. she doesn't own an ironing board, either, and brags about it. This from a woman who passed all 6 of parts of the CPA exam on the first shot).

This stuff makes me so catty.
