Here is a humble Germans wish

Reconciliation of the SSPX
More traditional priests
More traditional Catholic seminaries
The Mass of all Time available in all Churches
Less modern buildings, back to the old style
churches as you see often like in Germany
Absolute reverence at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

My wife would like to see,

More traditonal Catholic nuns
no evangelistic type music in churches, no bands in churches
no liturgical dancers
no female altar servers
Women always dressing modestly, meaning head coverings, and
long skirts well below the knee, and long shirts over the elbow and
no low cut front on the shirt.

Greetings, Frank! I’ll vouch for my BIL. He* is* humble. 😃
 
Thank you! :o forgot, I read your post on your blog about the Archbishop denying access to SSPX. Very good post!
 
Confession scheduled prior to every Mass.
Nuns in the classrooms of Catholic Schools.
Catholic Schools that large families with stay at home mothers can afford.
 
I think a return of the mantilla is a good thing. I wish our Church had more modest restrictions on women’s dress.
 
I wish for an end to condescending lectures from some folks along the lines of “Oh, you don’t know bad it was back then!”
(I wonder how it could be worse than it is now…)

Y’see, I’m a convert, and I do NOT have that baggage.
What I DO have is the desire the see more reverent liturgies!
After all, Lex orandi, lex credendi!!!

How about and end to the condescending lectures from the other folks of ‘oh it must have been so much better back then - bring back 1950s liturgy and everything else will just fall right back into line’!

Any reading of Catholic history will reveal that they sure had problems back then, no argument there! However, I’ll take the TLM over “banners, butterflies, and banality” any day! LOL 😃

I don’t think the TLM is a “cure all”, but I do assert that it will be a huge step forward for the Church where devotion to our Lord is concerned, thereby curing a LOT of madness that’s going on in the Church at present.

I do think it will be a huge step forward if we stop worshipping our favourite forms of worship and concentrate on what we are worshipping.

If we will build genuine devotion in our hearts which is not dependent on the form of a church building, the sex of an altar server, or the language in which we pray the “Our Father.”

I don’t suppose you have heard of a maxum from the Early Church Lex orandi, lex credendi.

Roughtly translated, it means “the Law of Prayer is the the Law of Belief.”

It DOES matter how we say the Our Father, it does matter how our liturgy is conducted. The laws that govern the Litrugy indicate and direct what we believe, what our Faith is.

There really cannot be a ‘genuine devotion’ that is seperate from rubrics of the Liturgy.

Excellent points, Brendan. And too commonly overlooked today.
