My favorite thing on Catholic Match was when I’d see women who said yes to papal infalibility, but no to teaching on contraception… The ability to use those questions as filters to sort the Catholic women from the fake-catholic women was one of the reasons I used and still recommend that site. It was mind boggling (and sad) how many poor confused souls were wondering around out there using the name catholic to identify themselves.

Yeah, I weed out the men who don’t have 7/7 and put a limit on the number of kids they want.
 
Once when watching a Papal Mass, I saw the pope roll in on that moving platform and said aloud “Now wouldn’t the* sedia* be a little cooler?”

This has to be one of the most rediculous articles I have read in some time.

A constant characteristic of the pre-Vatican II Popes was to abhor novelty and to safeguard tradition, including traditional devotions.

St. Francis of Assisi and the Friars Minor (Franciscans) was a novelty at one time. The development of an order of consecrated religious who operated outside of monastaries was completely new, and it was something which renewed the Church in profound ways. St. Dominic and the Dominicans fits here as well.

The introduction of scholastic theology (ala St. Thomas Aquinas) which paralleled the rise of the great universities in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was a huge novelty. Theology prior to this time was based almost entirely on monastic traditions of Lectio Divina and contemplation of the written word of God. Applying reason, logic and the philosophic sciences to matters of theology was such a profound novelty that it ripped entire monasteries and diocese apart. It was a cause for division so strong that some bishops went into exile and people were excommunicated over it.

This idea that the Church and it’s practices existed for nineteen centuries without innovation and change is patently false.

Sicutincensum,

By the way love the name, that is one of my favorite psalm prayers.

Yes I sometimes say alot of things out loud during Papal Masses. They are done so beautifully and reverently. To me, this is the way Novus Ordo should always be! …except for the time when they played jazz during World Youth Day…ick!!

Thank you. Congratulations for your very interesting blog, by the way!

What you just said reminded me of yet another thing traditional catholics say, while watching papal masses on TV: “Can’t he [the commentator] shut up? I want to listen to the mass in latin, I don’t care about the translation he is providing!”.
 
Thank you for looking at my blog. I hope you enjoy it!!

I KNOW RIGHT!!!

I have a Latin Vulgate Bible that I use to read along with the Gospel Chant and when they start talking its like “urgh!!” I just want them to tell us what the pope is saying during some of the prayers and the sermon.
 
When a bride uses the old wedding vows that include the word “obey” or “submit” in it. I was a maid of honor in a wedding where they chose to say it like that and you should of heard the gasps.

I am uncertain I understand why the Luminous Mysteries would be a problem.

Can someone please clarify this?

OK, so only some specific flavor of traditionalists would have issue with these.
Makes sense, thanks.

My opinion there…
The mysteries highlight the life of Jesus.
If it is the case that our thoughts should be toward Christ and the Rosary works toward that function; I expect eventually every part of Jesus’ life that is written will eventually be part of the Rosary.

That the Luminous mysteries are there does not really say traditionalist or otherwise.
It simply is a further meditation on the life of our Lord.

Why are they singing hymns and not Propers? Eliminate option 4 please.

I bought a missal shortly after I began RCIA and I was rather disappointed to find my parish almost always sings hymns instead of the entrance antiphons/communion antiphons. I don’t know if this is what you are refering to or not. It just seems to me they are there for a reason and should be used.🤷

I have only been Catholic about two weeks, but I concur. I just want to listen as well. I don’t understand why some people think you have to know exactly what’s being said to benefit. The first mass I heard was the ordinary form in Latin on ewtn. I didn’t know any Latin but it was as if the responses were at the very core of who I was as a person, like the words I was responding to demanded a response (in a non- forceful way). I listened to mass and said the responses almost every day for quite a while. Sung Latin responses speak to me in a deeper way then English ones/ sung or not. I feel that sung latin speaks to the nature of what is happening in a way that English does not - which is why I am looking forward to attending an EF mass for the first time as soon as I can. Sorry if I am derailing your thread, I don’t really count as traditional yet probably, but I am enjoying the traditional Catholic subforum very much.
 
I came up with another one:

“but… Your Excellency, I WANT to kiss your ring!”
 
Opie,

First of all, may God bless you in your entry into His Catholic Church!

When I decided to become Catholic, I too was attending Masses in the New order in Latin. The depth and richness of this is part of what drew me in. I find myself being drawn nearer and nearer to traditional Catholicism and if there were a Latin Mass only parish in my vicinity (that was in full-communion with the pope) I would be there faster than my head could spin. However I very much appreciate the Novus Ordo when it’s done reverently like on EWTN. For some reason, for me personally, all English Masses, especially with perky music like you find in alot of churches wear me down.
