It's good to know that there is another side to the story, and that all may not be as it appears. It is sad that many people will take this occasion to bash those who love the TLM, as if they were all disobedient, prideful weirdos. But it's just as sad that many will take the opportunity to "bishop bash," as if all of them were undercover commies or masons.

I think BC gave me the fellowship for being "the right type" but they were wrong.<br /><br />Listen, I hope nobody is getting the idea that the EF is for weirdos. It's just the Latin Rite Mass at it was before nineteen sixty-three, the only Latin Rite Mass G.K. Chesterton, et alia, knew. It's usually quiet and very lovely and almost everyone follows along with a bilingual missal. A French lady in my community has a French-Latin one. <br /><br />Naturally weirdos occasionally pop up although very rarely in Edinburgh. In Edinburgh there's a high ratio of converts from High Church Anglicanism, who were brought up almost from birth to love painstaking ritual and a high standard of sacred music. They're all normal chaps.

It's an insane school. <br />Apparently there's a rule in the student handbook that a man and a woman cannot talk to each other without a third person present? Anyway, if he says the environment was toxic, that's something. Plus, the financial situation was weird--they were offering full tuition to students who looked like they were the "right type" there, and that's how this guy ended up there.Maggie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395738024496658181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-79965837602129243452014-03-05T03:01:25.144+00:002014-03-05T03:01:25.144+00:00Totally unrelated, but I'm sitting in the stud...Totally unrelated, but I'm sitting in the student center of my university and the guys sitting next to me are having a loud conversation (ok fine, I'm eavesdropping) and one of them just said, "I'm more into chasing girls, y'know, like, if one of them comes after me I'm not that into it.") <br />Proof.

I laughed loud and long over the puppets/chant back-and-forth.<br /><br />There's no Sunday EF in our town, but I was allowed to direct a men's schola in singing most of the Latin propers during three Novus Ordo Masses a few weeks ago. The schola members and some of the congregants enjoyed it so much that there's talk of repeating it at intervals in future. Baby steps! It might've been one of the best weekends of my life. :)<br /><br />I have only once dreamed about having an affair (which was totally embarrassing even though I wasn't about to tell anyone, and even though it wasn't someone I was ever interested in [on account of which I was a little shocked and grossed out in the morning]). But the number of times I have dreamed about my husband or I becoming a polygamist would suggest that I spend a lot of spare time watching <i>Big Love</i> or <i>Sister Wives.</i> I do NOT.Jenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-48925798316466396782014-03-04T21:34:19.478+00:002014-03-04T21:34:19.478+00:00I've just about weaned myself of uncharitable,...I've just about weaned myself of uncharitable, unnecessary hate reading of Taylor Marshall, whose writing I find both pedantic and inflammatory, so I hope you'll take my recommendation to read his comments, which are clearly the fruit of much prayer and consideration.

I recommend checking the public figure Facebook page of Dr. Taylor Marshall for his statement on the matter, as someone who used to work there, loves EF, and still quit as a matter of conscience with a new baby and no job lined up.<br /><br />I had a lot written about Voris, but I can sum it up by saying I don't think his videos are helpful to the faithful or the seekers, and am glad that apparently in person he is generous and pleasant.Nziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611004371935380366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-57316454077342573362014-03-04T19:57:42.174+00:002014-03-04T19:57:42.174+00:00Oh, Stellamaris, how BRAVE!

But I think it was less in favour of Mardi Gras and more of me being at their house for breakfast, which is infrequent. Does it still count?<br />I actually felt very very slightly guilty because I'm trying to put my Lenten practices up a few notches. I recently read that very strict Orthodox Christians do a kind of pre-fast before the Lenten fast and then go VEGAN for all of Lent. GASP! Now that would be a challenge.

Banning the EF makes it seem like the Bishop thinks there is something wrong with the EF. I'm relieved to read in other quarters that actually he is supportive of it. Still, why ban it? <br /><br />To be frank, I doubt any traddy outside Texas cares two hoots about the college.

Since the college has no priest (they have been illicitly hosting priests with no faculties to say their Mass for them) and they aren't a parish, the bishop does indeed have every right to deny their request. It's that, or provide them with a priest to say their Mass for them, and I can't imagine the bishop has a free EF-only priest to assign to them.<br /><br />Also, what's with the college stopping all daily Masses if they can't have an EF one? Seems the wrong attitude to have.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-87221079277836889852014-03-04T17:43:26.045+00:002014-03-04T17:43:26.045+00:00Exactly.

I did read the bishop's letter when it was posted on fb, and found nothing particularly offensive in the "tone". But I confess I do find it very odd that a bishop would go and ban the Extraordinary Form, when Rome has been so very, very clear that priests do not need special permission to celebrate it, and that it should be made available to all Catholics who desire to attend it. amusednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-17729191349804656652014-03-04T16:45:51.259+00:002014-03-04T16:45:51.259+00:00Re: Dream: ha!

It was unprecedented; the last chap (in the 14th century or whatever) was an elderly pawn who just wanted to go home, not the towering intellect and lifelong gift to the Church who is Benedict XVI. So it was (and is) all very strange, especially to everyone who thought a nice long Benedictine reign would put the European Church on the path to healing and renewal. But it was not to be. <br /><br />Me, I do not watch Voris although I met him in Rome once and thought it was nice that he bought my friends and me lunch. Personally I am not sensitive to tone although I am sensitive to violations of "Summorum Pontificum". <br /><br />This is partly because the European/Anglosphere Catholic cultures that seemed eternal in the 1950s were blown to smithereens by 1970, and the creation of the New Mass--with faint regard for what the Council actually asked for--was unfortunately a big part of that. Rightly or wrongly, trads believe that renewing lost treasures of Catholic worship is integral for rebuilding a culture in which the Catholic faith and Catholic families may flourish.

And I don't mean that in a vague "they wouldn't say that about a Democrat" kind of way; I mean the very same people. Unsurprisingly, tone does turn out to matter.<br /><br />How tedious, yet another horse rider of the apocalypse, here to show us that Traditionalists *really are* under attack and the pope and the bishops *really are* Masonic plants out to get us. Happily, all those years at the hippy-dippy "enlightened" Catholic center on my college campus taught me a thing or two about going to mass for Jesus, and not for the other people in the pews.<br /><br />Sorry, that was venting.<br /><br />I had a dream a couple nights ago where I was at a party talking to a Guy of My Acquaintance. Another girl came up to him and said, "hey, you have such nice arms" (she must have had x-ray vision? also, RUDE). "Oh thanks," he said, calm as you like: "I don't really work out or anything. Just bare-knuckle boxing." The weirdness of this statement jolted me awake, and when I remembered it on my train it made me giggle. Needless to say, this guy is not exactly a bare-knuckle boxing type...Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076215213828545013noreply@blogger.com
