It appears that on so many levels, our Church has been infiltrated by those who which to destroy it.
It is outrageous. That's the point exactly! Anyone who's met these types, the destroyers, knows what I mean. They know they can't change the 'old' people (that's what a scandalous priest told our parish from the pulpit) or the people of faith, so they target the children. For a decade our parish had a 'children's' mass rule. No bells at consecration, hands held at the Our Father, no rosary or adoration, standing around the altar at consecration, etc.. Now that generation thinks this is the norm, and the 'old-fashioned' ways are wierd. They no longer have this mass, but the confusion remains, because the other masses at our parish are not held this way, and it's not lost on the kids.
They don't think they are shooting the Church in the foot, but changing it for the future in a good way, like they have their own messianic mission, since they have a new and unique interpretation of 'church' (oh, you couldn't possibly understand, they croon, if you disagree...) and they gleefully lead many astray. But don't dare disagree with them, they have a nasty side that shows no restraint. And personal attacks in public send a message.
