Thank you for your much-needed help in 2002. I didn't know either, of course.

I can't believe that some on this thread on still arguing the Latin mass when we obviously have much more serious problems, such as this subversive infiltration of our children's Catholic schools. Do yourselves and the Church a favor, my friends, and get off the Tridentine kick and into Jesus Christ.

It can't be called subversive if the diocese would rather the priest leave than the principal or any of the teachers. Obviously they know about it, obviously this is what they want. I just can't figure out why, unless there is blackmail or something else criminal involved.

For your first post on a Catholic thread (at least that I have noticed), you sure are starting off on the wrong foot by displaying your ignorance. There is nothing either in heaven or on earth that is more important than the holy sacrifice of the Mass. All of the Catholic schools in the world could not add up to the spiritual value of 1 Catholic Mass. So when the Mass is attacked, then the very center and source of spiritual life is attacked. Of course there are other issues, and every element of the Catholic faith is essential, but the Mass is the source and the summit of all Catholic belief and practice.

this subversive infiltration of our children's Catholic schools

When there is heterodoxy in belief, and heteropraxis in worship, then inevitably that must filter into the Catholic schools. We can only restore our Catholic schools when we restore traditional Catholic belief and worship. It will never be possible for protestants to run an authentically Catholic school.

Do yourselves and the Church a favor, my friends, and get off the Tridentine kick and into Jesus Christ.

Yeah, maybe I can be "born again" and learn to play "Kumbaya" on the guitar. Anyone who thinks that you can "get into Jesus Christ" by any method other than traditional Catholic faith and sacraments has a protestant mentality.
