[Aloysius]

Can you give some examples of the abuses you saw?

Altar girls before the Pope allowed them,

first Communion before first Confession,

trying to force children to recive Communion in the hand,

sexually explicit "Confirmation" training;

a drunk priest trying to get me to go into the confessional during Mass (that's what I get for standing in the back during Mass - but hey, that's OK at the Novus Ordo);

the use of Extraordinary ministers while the priest sits on his throne.

I could go on, but this is depressing that I spent at least a third of my life this way.

Do you like the Novus Ordo on EWTN?

[SoothingDave]

You list legitimate abuses. I'm glad I don't have those kinds of things going on.

a drunk priest trying to get me to go into the confessional during Mass (that's what I get for standing in the back during Mass - but hey, that's OK at the Novus Ordo);

What do you think is "hey, that's OK"?
