Many of those modernists are apparently happy with the changes that that license (not freedom) has wrought, empty pews and recent Church scandals notwithstanding. Persuading them that such worldliness is unbecoming a Catholic only invites the old 'judgmental' canard. They simply do not want to go back to what they view as the bad, old 'insular' days. But here's the thing: THEIR days are numbered and their children have left the Faith in droves. Thus, the future of the HMC belongs to precious, smiling little faces like the ones I see every Sunday morning at St. Josaphat, my reprieve from modernity, and priests like the 2 tradition-loving seminarians who provide them with their catechesis. Having witnessed and fully understood the unholy disaster that is the post-Conciliar rapprochement between worldly Catholics and their capitalist idols, they will be intellectually and spiritually positioned to restore HMC to all of Her former counter-cultural glory. ('By ye fruits ye shall be known.' Where is the modernists' St. Thomas? Raphael? Dante? The whole thing is culturally bankrupt.) Amen.

If he permits the impermissible, that is that those in mortal sin and therefore not in a state of grace be allowed to receive Holy Communion, then he will have triggered the inherent split which is in the Church today, a silent Schism of the Modernists, to break out into open Schism and therefore a new Reformation, with much, but not all, of the Germanic countries breaking away to form their own Schismatic heretical church.<br /><br />We shall see!Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.com
