“Tridentine Mass (one that was so many centuries-in-the-making, and finally adopted as the norm for the West at 16th century Trent) is a daisy-chain of Scripture all through: there’s scarcely a word in it that’s not Scripture.”

It is what is left out through selective choices that distorts the Gospel.

What do you think is "left out" that "distorts the Gospel"?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Anything but the full text of the Bible in one gulp is a selective choice, my friend. :o)

The distortion comes when you ignore the Sacred Tradition --- the continuous interpretive community bringing forth what was handed on to us by the Apostles and brought to mind afresh by the Holy Spirit, Who --- by Christ's promise --- reminds us of all He taught us.

To be frank, distortion is easy enough for anybody, anywhere. That is why reverent prayer and a certain inward trembling is necessary, I think. We need to ask God's grace to get past our own malformations and get things right from His perspective. We should "do theology" on our knees.
