As one person who replied to the article said, "I would place this woman even below Oliver Cromwell. Back when Ireland was actually Catholic this woman would have been driven out like the snakes before her. Some 'Republic' that country has become."

Catholic ping!

This article was obviously written by a foaming-at-the-mouth CINO.

I had to stop reading it. This poor woman sounds disturbed.

My stars and garters and little golden fishes, what on earth is WRONG with this woman?

She should just shut up and become a Protestant, already.

Where are the replies? I’d like to read ‘em, but I can’t find ‘em.

No happiness in her, about anything.

I found the article on another website, and I found the Cromwell comment on there.

What an unhappy person. I’d have had some sympathy with her stylistic observations, which square with my experience of the TLM, but she obviously doesn’t want anything to do with even the most up-to-date legitimate Catholicism.

Nobody shook hands

God forbid we should actually shake hands and chit chat outside the church or in the vestibule before or after Mass.

Completely unthinkable! Why would we want to socialize with any of our co-religionists outside the confines of the building?

What a maroon!

Naw, she's find something to complain about the Protestants, too.

Yeah, there are people like that amongst the traditionalist crowd. But I get the impression that she was exaggerating a bit. There are women who attend regularly at my Latin Mass parish who don't cover their head.

Journalists often do :-).

And I was offering only a single person's observation, with no intention of its being understood as a generalization. Every congregation is different in some ways, I'm sure.

"This is a man who waged a diplomatic offensive to get God into the EU constitution, who condemned record numbers of theologians when he ran the old Inquisition office in Rome, and who denounced feminism for undermining the structures of society."

My heart goes thumpity thump. A broad grin appears on my face.

"This is the man who welcomed the illegal joint invader of Iraq, Tony Blair, to the Vatican as a fraternal visitor...

Let's keep in mind that both John Paul the Great and Ratzinger/Benedict were strenuously, actively, articulately, consistently against the war in Iraq --- like it or not, that's the truth --- but this author tries to pin it on him by association, because he, omigosh, received a Head of State, and didn't excommunicate him --- which he couldn't in any case, because the man is not Catholic.

I mean, does she want the Pope to claim the power to excommunicate Anglicans and Methodists? Would that make her happy?

Do you think she makes better sense when she's has a little Guinness?

No, she probably just says the same things, only with a lot of swear words.

Guinness is good for you, but only if you have a sense of humor. This writer does not seem to qualify.

Amen sister!! Viva il Papa!! Oh wait, you are against those.
