The Extraordinary Form of the Mass and the Evangelization of the Culture


There is extraordinary post, in several senses of the word, by Mgr Pope on the Washington Archdiocesan website: The Extraordinary Form of the Mass and the Evangelization of the Culture.

Monsignor's post is very good and helpful. Personally I was wondering why those who are devoted to the Extraordinary Form are not as welcomed by hierarchy and faithful with as much enthusiasm as the so-called new movements - Communion and Liberation, Focolare, Neocatechumenate, Charismatic Renewal and so on.

Sadly Montini's 'smoke of satan' revolution means that many Catholics are stuck with the clown rather than the alter Christus on that continuum.

May Our Lady and her Son continue to lead you away from apostate Rome and closer into the bosom of Holy Mother Church, the Remnant.

You always have a place to reside in pabloville.
