Rich Raho, Twitter.com: "In new decree effective Ash Wednesday, Lexington’s Bishop Stowe bans ad orientem Masses; use of biretta and maniple during Mass prohibited, says norm “for the reception of Communion is to be standing;” adds there should be no addition to rites already contained in Order of Mass."
My question: Do these guys hate our Catholic heritage so much, that they will unwittingly sabotage the future of vocations for their dioceses, for the sake of fidelity to VII? Or: Do they know what they are doing, and just want to see vocations dry up completely in the next couple of decades, in order to push a revolutionary “paradigm shift?” The liberal orders of sisters have been firmly in the latter category for decades, and I think more bishops are moving in the same direction.
Glad I'm not in that diocese! I'm afraid that we all might need to relocate whenever a liberal tyrant arrives in our neighborhood. But, then again, there's always the SSPX!
I wish there was "always the SSPX!" but that may not hold true as things get more dangerous! Hopefully with prayers and sacrifices, yes!
