Empty pews and people not understandimg the true Faith. I know of a very highly respected academic priest from the archdiocese of Liverpool, who warned the late Archbishop Worlock NOT TO ALLOW the wtw into catholic schools. The Archbishop would not listen to this priest. Indeed he even punished the poor man for speaking out. <br />But the priest was right. I read his column every week in the catholic press. He survived the punishment of + Worlock and his auxiliary Bishop and has proven himself to be a good leader in his own right.<br /><br />Why is it that we have very learned priests who advise well and teach theology to a very good standard and they are not listened to?<br />The Bishops in England and Wales need waking up. They have been 'asleep' too long. If they do not want to be true to Rome and follow Pope Francis, then I suggest they retire and let some other man do a better job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-13707123904616424022013-06-20T13:09:34.860+01:002013-06-20T13:09:34.860+01:00Bang-on!Bang-on!Matthew Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958673318312786618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-18157573425660862812013-06-20T12:11:15.766+01:002013-06-20T12:11:15.766+01:00Another excellent post Richard.

Indeed how could they not agree, how could any true Catholic - Bishop or not, disagree with your practical and feasible proposals? I suggest a copy be sent to every Bishop of England, Wales and Scotland. A waste of time, I hear some say, maybe but maybe not! Keep up the good work.

The mystery of course, is how is anyone going to learn about the Catholic faith with a convention full of dissidents, modernists and heretics?

I'm a big fan of #s 6 & 7, especially centrally located tabernacles, real altars, male only altar servers and ad orientem.<br /><br />There is a shocking level of ignorance of liturgical norms even among "trained" servers and sacristans. If the rubrics were tightened up—I'm talking about the OF Liturgy, of course—and adherence to the rubrics was mandatory, that would help establish consistency and help those of us who train servers and sacristans to provide precise guidance for the reverent celebrant of Holy Mass.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388899986377479033noreply@blogger.com
