Thank you for your reply. Interesting tidbi...YCP, <br /><br />Thank you for your reply. Interesting tidbit that his real 1st mass of thanksgiving was the OF, though it sounds like his first ever Mass, the one counting for the indulgence, was the EF. <br /><br />Thank you for your balanced view of the two liturgical forms. It gives me hope as a young Male Catholic that will be part of the generation under your spiritual care, knowing that there's good priests who do not share the same ultra-liberalism or ultra-orthodoxy as their predecessors. You are exactly what is needed to revitalize the institutional Catholic Church. <br /><br />Also, you have every right currently (unless the Pope forced under some crazy no Edict which won't likely happen) to celebrate one, or both forms of the Latin Rite. And that's fine. The EF won't be for everyone. In fact, I took a course once that talked about leadership styles based on a personality survey, and matching spiritualities/Catholic practices for each combination/score. Not everyone will have my combination nor will I share yours. Further, just as long as you "say the black and do the red" to quote famous internet priest Fr. Zuhlsdorf, that's what matters whether celebrating the liturgy of the OF or the EF. <br /><br />You SING IT? Whoa! That's awesome! Most priests won't dare to go there (then again most people are embarrassed of their tones or singing or can't sing for beans.)<br /><br />On your post scriptum ... well I use Spirit of VCII more to describe the unorthodox liberalism and abuse of Vatican II's documents to promote erroneous theology, practices, etc. I have though used a term in past posts interchangeably called the "misapplication of Vatican II" and I agree with you exactly, that Vatican II's meaning and such has been misapplied. Would that be the better term to use? We are definitely working on reducing the abuses and errors and bringing out the real meaning of the documents. I wonder though ... what is the real exciting stuff to come ...? Hopefully there's some plan at the level of the average parish or diocese in place. perhaps you can hint at some things maybe? I am interested. <br /><br />Again thanks for your reply, YCRCM.Young Canadian RC Malehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716232749482910081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678904446058212682.post-53024878714256507212012-07-11T17:01:47.546-04:002012-07-11T17:01:47.546-04:00Thanks for seeking the peace between EF and OF. A...Thanks for seeking the peace between EF and OF. As a young Priest, and a good friend of Fr. Pablo –– whose first Mass of Thanksgiving was actually an OF Mass on Pentecost Sunday the week prior to his EF Mass –– I very much share his love of Christ, the Church and the Liturgy.<br /><br />However, I don't particularly enjoy the EF, and have no desire or plans to celebrate it. But I'm by no means a progressive/liberal/etc... I'm very much an orthodox traditionalist in terms of Liturgy, theology, ecclesiology, etc., and I give great efforts to preparing well the Mass and celebrating (singing!) it with great devotion, reverence and fidelity. And my parishioners love it!<br /><br />But I'm saddened by the liturgical community for being dismissed for not liking the EF. Thanks for bring proactive in calling for mutual respect. You're absolutely right about the errors of division and their source.<br /><br />Blessings.<br />Young Canadian Priest<br /><br /><br />On a post scriptum: I think we need to change the use of the phrase "spirit of VCII", because as anyone who's actually read the Vatican documents can plainly see, what is often attributed to the Council and was done under the guise of the Council had in fact very little to do with it and what it sought. I believe, and firmly so, that we are actually the generation who will uncover the real Spirit of VCII, and finally begin to implement its documents in their truth and beauty. It was begun by Pope John Paul II, is being furthered by Pope Benedict XVI, and will continue on after him. This was the whole point with Summorum Pontificum and the 3rd edition of the Missal, but it's only the beginning. The really exciting stuff is yet to come!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678904446058212682.post-24642295924878445642012-06-23T20:18:34.192-04:002012-06-23T20:18:34.192-04:00I found this great blog via SCCB!!

I don't think that they have posted the ordination article yet, I just emailed it last week. I don't usually write, but I attended both the ordination and the Cistercian Sisters' profession (it is not called an ordination but either 'vows' or 'profession') so I was asked to give my thoughts.<br />Also, yes, I am a woman... no worries, lots of people think that Frances is a guy's name... it is Francis as you mentioned that is the guy form (and actually, I wrote my name accidentally that one time and then posted... I was trying to work on the anonymous thing, oh well). I still have principals at the schools I work at who spell my name wrong:).<br />You are right about Catholic's sticking together... which is why the Catholic world is so small:). I love it!!! According to a friend, Catholics who are serious about their faith are only removed by one person... so two Catholics who don't know each other will have at least one mutual friend/acquaintance. According to that stat, which I still somewhat doubt, we probably have a mutual acquaintance. I wonder...<br /><br />Well, nice to somewhat meet you.<br />God bless,<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678904446058212682.post-24424109835542256482012-06-10T23:54:08.871-04:002012-06-10T23:54:08.871-04:00Hi Frances.

I just found that reflection on the site and it turns out: 1) You were likely referring to the ordinations of two Cisternan sisters to their final vows, and 2) I finally realized you are a woman! I thought Frances was male loL! that`s more likely Francis. Also I found you in the picture with the article. All this time ... now I got a face and a name. Optionally, I would open further communication with you, maybe even reveal my true ID but only to you.

When I was on Crossroads, the Pro-life walk across Canada, we gave a talk to the pro-life group of the SSPX (we gave talks to all those who invited us). I was a bit upset since they called me just before we went to inform me that I should be wearing a skirt (which I was intending to wear, I just was not impressed that they would give me that direction). It was interesting....<br /><br />So true, the friction, and so unnecessary. So much prayer needed...<br />God bless, <br />F.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678904446058212682.post-39112060960635735902012-06-06T23:24:16.066-04:002012-06-06T23:24:16.066-04:00Great Comment F.P.

I just had to also make this remark about the "war" between the two sides and internal division b/c it's also present even in non-SSPX Latin mass efforts. That, of all, makes me angry because the non-SSPX efforts are supposed to be better than those ones with the strict cultural and liturgical sticking. <br /><br />There's even stupider rules amongst the SSPX efforts like boys being forced to wear military buzzcuts (especially to serve) and girls wearing pants or lace underwear to be a sin. <br /><br />It's times like this I want to tell all of the TLM/EF efforts to just "shut up" because we are at "war" here and we have enough problems from the misinformed/weakly to not at all catechized laity of the Novus Ordo to begin with, and it's even harder to get people from there to EVEN BE OPEN to the TLM/EF or not bash it, and extremely hard to get them to experience a TLM to try if they aren't deeply committed to Catholicism to begin with.

I am writing to just say that I really appreciated this post on the blessing of attending a newly ordained priest's first Mass (esp. with two friends newly ordained... I actually just finished writing an article regarding the ordinations for the OLSWA webpage). I think that people often do not realize the blessings/graces that the sacraments impart to those receiving them... but in the case of the Sacrament of Holy Orders we, the lay people, also benefit because the priest's vocation is to be Christ for His Church. The sacraments are God's gift of love for us, and all priests are living out this love, for as the Cure of Ars states, “The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus.” I think that is a profound quote... and gives much to be pondered. <br />Your comments regarding the criticism often handed back and forth between those who attend the Novus Ordo and the Latin Mass is also a valid point, and I often worry because sometimes those comments sound like comments made by SPPX and other similar schismatic groups... we have to remember that Christ created his Church as one, and splitting Her is not what we need and it is confusing to other people as well. I love that Mass, and I think that the renewals that Pope Benedict XVI is bringing have been a great blessing. We must stand steadfast and loyal to our Holy Father and the Church. <br /><br />God bless, <br />F.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678904446058212682.post-72272652800792682272012-06-05T14:02:24.124-04:002012-06-05T14:02:24.124-04:00Great post,..just tweeted it and copy pasted it to...Great post,..just tweeted it and copy pasted it to my FB fan page!
