A "Clown Mass"
"This is My Body"
_________________________________________________
Musings on Opposition to Latin in the Mass
and a Return to the Tridentine Rite in the Catholic Church
and why the vernacular has failed miserably at Mass
"I can't fight back the tears. This is the saddest moment in my life as a man, priest and bishop," Luca Brandolini, a member of the liturgy commission of the Italian bishops' conference, told Rome daily La Repubblica in an interview on Sunday.
"It's a day of mourning, not just for me but for the many people who worked for the Second Vatican Council. A reform for which many people worked, with great sacrifice and only inspired by the desire to renew the Church, has now been cancelled."
Bishop Luca Brandolini (principal architect of the Novus Ordo Missae, or the Vernacular Mass)
Indeed. Poor Bishop Brandolini, fretting that his work --- which decimated the Church --- may be imperiled by the clamoring of the Faithful for a return of Latin to the liturgy ... even the Tridentine Rite itself! His failed "experiment" --- that profoundly touched ... and detrimentally changed ... the lives of one billion people, may, he apparently fears, and to the point of tears, become along with himself, a footnote in Church history. And not a very proud one at that.
