Lima, Peru, Jun 3, 2010 / 10:05 pm (CNA).- During a conference in Peru this week, a Spanish cardinal expressed sadness over the fact that often, the Mass is “reduced to a mere banquet, a celebration of the community,” instead of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. He noted that "Worship becomes perverted when we have a celebration in which the community celebrates itself."http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/catholicnewsagency/dailynews/~4/mujpLDw4BO4

it seems that we Catholics need more Catholics leaders who preach the True Faith to come forward and evangelize Catholics. although it will be a difficult journey, since so many Catholics have been hearing the voice of the wolves for so long.
can they still recognize the voice of God, and come back to the True Faith in the Church without resistance?

Pray and support the Traditional Catholic Faith.

The critique lacks specifics; too general.😉

That being said, I think the talk focussed on the general attitude, although a number of specifics were mentioned in the article.
 
Good luck with this one, I think the church is too far gone. Our church is like a zoo, in stead of a place of worship. Unreal!:mad:
 
I went to a Healing Mass over the weekend awhile back and I remember the priest saying that “when you take the Tabernacle out of the main sanctuary the people turn towards one another rather than to Christ as their focus.” He went on to explain that “then you have a mess hall situation in the church”. Also “The more orthodox the diocese, the more vocations you will see.” “The vocations are there, but no one is listening because they aren’t able to.”

Well, you could say, we have our tabernacle right in front, in the center…o.k., so that leads to the thought of why am I not focused on Christ then when I attend Mass? Could it be that I do not really believe in His true presence in the Eucharist? I freeze whenever I see people up at the altar gabbing away. He is there, He is there as you or I sitting in the pew AND He is watching. Forget about when you stand before Him after you die, look at how most people stand before Him now in HIS Church.

Why is this girl so crazy? Why can’t we just go to Church and do/wear whatever we want? I don’t judge anyone, don’t judge me. I’m not there to judge, I just go and do my thing. God doesn’t care about all the details, (Really???) HEELLLOOOO! Then, you’re NOT Catholic!

It seems like there is this agenda going on to protestanize the Catholic church and it makes me so mad :mad:. The Catholic faith IS absolutely beautiful and all the protestant people I know that have converted (a lot), mormons too, want to be Catholic in its entirety.

Actually, I think what’s really going on is that no one really wants to change or grow, there is this spiritual stagnation in the air that I’ve experienced, it’s death really. I’ve been to a dead parish before, I loved the priest, but the people were just complacent. It was a yucky feeling. Soon, there was one other person there who was new that made a remark to me about it as well.

The communion lines are long, but seriously, I see tumble weeds flying by when I go to confession, it’s so sad. 😦

By the way, Father Benedict Groeschel and his order The Franciscan Friars/Sisters of the Renewal are praying for a resurgence of the Catholic laity. Sadly he has sincerely stated that “they haven’t seen any fruit of that yet.”

God Bless.
 
the Franciscans are doing what?

i know that the Franciscans in my part of the world are promoting women priests. they very liberal and want the Church to be just like protestant gatherings.

protestantism in the CC is nothing new. it started 40 years ago. since then it has gone from bad to worse than protestant gatherings.

pray and support the Traditional Catholic Church.

But WHICH Fransicans.

There is a old joke

“There are two things that even God doesn’t know. - How many Fransican Orders there are; and how much money the Jesuits have”
