The point was made so starkly that decisions were made to rob the faithful of their Mass. The Martin Sheen character came across as a brash young trendy who didn't seem to believe in anything - though I wondered about Buddhism.<br /><br />Be that as it may, God Bless Cardinal Heenan who persuaded Paul VI to allow an indult to keep the Latin Mass available. And God Bless Archbishop LeFebvre, whose actions gave the Heirarchy a sharp shock and precipitated orders such as FSSP, which if I remember rightly was formulated in response to SSPXjohnfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233791349837340770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-91536531799712521632011-09-24T14:01:42.158+01:002011-09-24T14:01:42.158+01:00Good comment Pangur, very perceptive.Good comment Pangur, very perceptive.Richard Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826907710570316952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-67716805487726389432011-09-24T00:39:55.922+01:002011-09-24T00:39:55.922+01:00At the time it was made we were to view and interp...At the time it was made we were to view and interpret it through Martin Sheen's eyes.

The book is excellent: Brian Moore at his very best! (Some of his others, such as Lies of Silence and The Colour of Blood are also excellent.

The more I think about what happened in the 1960s and 1970s, the more incomprehensible (and profoundly sad) a lot of it seems.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285355080459130149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-63162009123573471822011-09-21T10:43:57.353+01:002011-09-21T10:43:57.353+01:00Richard, thank you for posting this.
