A few miscreants do not equate to such a comment. Remember to remove the beam from your own eye before looking for the splinter in your neighbor's.
“Remember to remove the beam from your own eye before looking for the splinter in your neighbor’s.”
I have no doubt there’s a beam there...but perhaps you could enlighten me as to just what precisely it is composed of. The late pope and the EP urged us to get to know one another; I suppose so we won’t be surprised if some silly nun in a pantsuit starts dancing at a High Mass, among other things.
As for the problem being confined to a few miscreants, well they must be influential miscreants if the Vatican thought it important enough for one of the papabile to comment on it. Sadly, NYer, the excesses of post Vatican II liturgics in the Roman Catholic Church have become a problem for us in the Orthodox Churches, a true stumbling block to progress on reunion as the EP hinted in his homily during the visit of +BXVI to the Phanar. That the pope and Cardinal Arinze are tackling this head on is a good thing and not something to be minimized as a problem found in a few isolated places practiced by nuts.
