I never cared much for the incense thing, being allergic to the stuff. I always have to go outside when we get a priest who goes overboard with it.

Those sweet little Vietnamese nuns are about the farthest away from Wicca that you could get. The Cardinal invited them to incense the altar; they obediently complied.

What's the big deal?

. What's the big deal?

<>Beats me :) Apparently everything that doessn't duplicate the Mass of the 16th Century, including architecture, vestments, music, type of incense even, I guess, is some abominable heresy and signifies the death knell of Catholicism and all is lost. What faith :)

Pope Pius V created a New Rite after The Council of Trent and it was the right Mass for that age. Pope Paul V created a New Rite ( a revision of the old rite, actually) after the Vatican Two Council and it is the right Mass for this age but some, knowing far more and far better than the Divinely-constituted authority, will have none of it.

THEY, I guess, are the only ones competent to judge and if only they had the authority they justly deserve, all would be right with the world :) <>
