Ho...I do not believe that it is a total disaster. <br /><br />Hopefully, the Benedictine reform of the liturgy will not be forgotten in Britain during the pontificate of Pope Francis I believe that it is the job of the English Catholic blogosphere to keep the pressure up in terms of the 'reform of the reform' i.e. liturgy. However, if we want change then it is also up to faithful, devout and orthodox Catholics to strive for change in their own parish and keep the pressure exerted on their own Bishop. <br /><br />This is not a time for heads to drop.<br /><br />However, the election of Pope Francis can be seen as an opportunity of a 'reform of ALL the reforms' in all our Catholic churches as I have stated on my latest post.<br /><br />Ironically, since Benedict has been pope we have used it as an opportunity to bring about a 'Reform of ALL the Reforms' at Louth St Mary's (brick by brick). Hopefully in two weeks plainchant will return but there has been a return to providing basic catechesis.<br /><br />Pope Francis gives us an opportunity to deal with all of the liberal problems that came out of the misinterpretations of Vatican II.<br /><br />However, in terms of liturgy if the English Catholic blogosphere drops the ball now, then forget it. It will be game over!<br /><br />Ultimately I hope that the new 'tag' line of the Catholic blogosphere will be....<br /><br />THE REFORM OF ALL THE REFORMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />I believe that this is the way we should all proceed or we may loose focus.ORA PRO NOBIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17546605493757534530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-77271884317428027032013-03-15T08:07:18.205+00:002013-03-15T08:07:18.205+00:00Elizabeth - I had not thought of verifying the pic...Elizabeth - I had not thought of verifying the picture but The Hermeneutic of Continuity has similar good reports to make.

Many commenters to that article have asked the writer of it the same question I had: Can you please provide confirmation of this information. Can you please tell us where you read this, saw this, heard this. The last time I looked, he was not able to say where he heard/read/saw this information. Not that it's not true but I'd like to see that it's more than just "someone told me".....

I've offered an extra rosary for the holy father every day. I have very real and genuine concerns (disappointment?) especially in regard to what will become of a concrete "reform of the reform" in the liturgy not to mention the widespread propagation of the Traditional rite once more in the life of the Church. All of this seems to be perhaps outside the realm of reality now.
