Funny. <br /><br />You should go to the audio archives on EWTN and listen to the program "What Went Wrong with Vatican II". It's right in line with your post and they go through each document.

It is very interesting, and explains a whole heck of a lot that has been happening within The Church the past 40+ years.<br /><br />Yes...so much was twisted in Vatican II, but the little word changes made that possible. We are in a MAJOR crisis...and the "Spirit" of Vat II opened the floodgates for the Kooks and subversives...Karla in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549865420783308819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-21048277634310711772012-08-29T16:58:32.242-04:002012-08-29T16:58:32.242-04:00I think that much of the "interpretation"...I think that much of the "interpretation" of Vatican II is a classic example of "give them an inch and they'll take a yard." <br /><br />Some fresh air was needed, but what we got was a hurricane.<br /><br />Mariedixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-80445290276388515722012-08-29T16:04:05.198-04:002012-08-29T16:04:05.198-04:00Obviously, Cam, this strikes a chord with many lif...Obviously, Cam, this strikes a chord with many lifetime Catholics. There were so many things implemented in "The Spirit of VII" that just made me sad, like the beautiful churches turned into gymnasiums, or the priests who preached what THEY believed in THEIR church. But more than sad, often it made me feel lonely. Many friends were not my spiritual family anymore. I was forced to change parishes until I found one that was truly Catholic (and I am not some kind of fanatic).<br /><br />Now I see some of the parishes I left becoming orthodox again. His Church will not pass away; we just need faith. (In addition to the VII docs, the catechism, esp. the section on Life in Christ is a good teaching tool.)Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-32309688881856091832012-08-29T14:32:21.527-04:002012-08-29T14:32:21.527-04:00I so agree with you guys!

It spans the new (vernacular) with the old (beauty and reverence). This however seems to make two groups of Catholics (Most of the TLM and the more liturgically liberal the NO crowds.) despise me and criticize my points. I love the TLM when there is a high sung mass but low masses just don't do it for me. That might be because of my dyslexia. It's hard for me to pray the mass properly and I feel like I'm cheating God by not being able to focus like I should.The.Baroness.Von.Korfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785486185254181483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-28913348645376488032012-08-29T09:40:47.047-04:002012-08-29T09:40:47.047-04:00So so true.

I just wish it were more common. And I wish we were bolder about telling people why the Liturgy matters. I have now started speaking up when I hear people say "he's so stuck up!" about priests who are very precise about the liturgy; now I take the time to explain to them that we have a GRIM, that it dictates what happens, that these things are so important because "as we pray, so we live." <br /><br />But really I'm selfish. I just want to get through one gosh darn Mass without CLAPPING. And this is coming from someone who self-identifies as charismatic, for pity's sakes!
