[Polycarp]

If sexual autonomy is one’s goal, one will not want the traditional Mass as the central symbol of the Faith, for the very form it takes will always seem a reproach: one will want a pliable liturgy, something one can shape to one’s whims.

What exactly is Wilson trying to say in this statement? I truly find it almost bizarre.

You would, Sink. Other Catholics understand it only too well.

Is it any surprise that one of the highest concentrations of homosexuals are to be found in the modern "liberal liturgists'" ranks?

Dear Polycarp,

"If sexual autonomy is one’s goal, one will not want the traditional Mass as the central symbol of the Faith, for the very form it takes will always seem a reproach: one will want a pliable liturgy, something one can shape to one’s whims.

"'What exactly is Wilson trying to say in this statement? I truly find it almost bizarre.'

"You would, Sink. Other Catholics understand it only too well."

Well, I guess I'm not much of a Catholic, my friend. I don't get it either. Is the author suggesting the obverse, then, that the new Mass is not a reproach to those whose goal is sexual autonomy?

I frankly don't give a passing thought to "liturgists," liberal or otherwise. Those of us who happen to appreciate the Novus Ordo should not be lumped in with a bunch of weirdos who experiment with the Mass.

I would wager a considerable sum of money that Paul Likoudis attends the Tridentine Mass on Sundays. He doesn't like the Novus Ordo, he never has liked the Novus Ordo, and he and Fr. Wilson stretch to connect the dots between the Novus Ordo and every aberration, sexual and otherwise, that has been manifested anecdotally in the Church since Vatican II.

This book is a half-empty account of a Church that I see as half-full.
