When I was young, I use to watch movies which show the old Catholic church. I was moved by the sanctity and reverence. When I was old enough, I entered the Seminary. Unfortunately I discovered that the Catholic experience I yearned for no longer exists. What I saw in the movies are pre-Vatican II settings. The respectful worship and adoration are gone. Priests talk about worldly things, I thought, they are more materialistic than the lay people in my community. I left the seminary because I cannot find Christ in the new church. When I learned about the return of the Tridentine Mass, I became nostalgic of my vocation. But its too late, I’m married.

Umm, Catholics do read the Bible. The Catholic Church WROTE the Bible and codified what is canon–even what is in the KJV. Christ founded the Catholic Church, he didn’t write the Bible.

Kevin: we do read the Bible, and believe the Catholic Church to be the most Scriptural Church on earth. For starters, because Sola Scripura is unscriptural (http://www.envoymagazine.com/backissues/5.3/nutsandbolts.htm). Here’s a case for the Catholic Church: http://www.catholic.com/library/Pillar.asp

Thank you dear Holy Father for lifting the restrictions on the traditional Latin Mass. May God bless you! The Mass is the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross…Jesus re-presents Himself to the Father for our sins at every Mass. And the traditional Latin Mass represents this “Holy Sacrifice” in a clearer and more distinct manner than the modern “Novus Ordo” Mass.
So, what comes to mind when I reflect on this new directive of the Pope given on 7/7/07?
“And Jesus said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18″).

It’s truly sad that Catholics can’t simply follow the words of Christ regarding salvation. Continue to pray for those led astray by the Vatican and the absurd Catechism it has produced and strains itself to defend. Catholics, please…read the Bible.

Judging from the obscure terms and phrases used in the article I can only wonder why anyone would want to turn the simple and direct teachings of Jesus into a voodoo ritual. Some people just need that kind of thing, I guess.
