The Good Cardinal Ranjith!

[At_Trent]

Read what my fave Cardinal is doing !

(kreuz.net, Vatikan) At the end of June Malcom Cardinal Ranjith of Colombo in Sri Lanka condemns the celebration of the Mass on the supper table facing the pews.

The Cardinal spoke in the framework of a conference, which took place in Rome from 20th to the 24th of June in Rome, organized by the “Missionaries of the Most Holy Eucharist”.

The Priest as a Boring Entertainer

The Cardinal stressed that the Priest at the supper table is forced in the role of an entertainer.

The Second Vatican Council never talked about a Calvin Box: “The people’s altar is not suitable for the fear inducing Mystery of the Holy Eucharist” – admonished the Cardinal.

He received enormous applause for stating this truism.

The Cardinal stated that the active participation in the Mass is not an external activity rather the significance interior worship.

How does one reform a Diocese?

At dinner during the Conference Cardinal Ranjith described, according to the US Traditionalist Website ‘rorate-caeli.blogspot.com’ that he had abolished Communion in the Hand in his Diocese.

At the same time he restored communion rails in every church as well.

His priests may only use certain parameters in their celebration of Holy Mass.

Finally he has forbidden all of the priest, to hold syncretic Liturgies, in which elements of other religions are introduced into the Liturgy.

Can’t say it any better than that…

God bless His Eminence, and may his kind increase and multiply (at a rapid rate!)!

I agree. It is truly inspiring to see some highly placed prelates saying what so many of us have been thinking all these years and then putting action behind those words. God be with him.

At Trent you know I always got your back buddy! LOL
This is great news! This Cardinal deserves the “spine crozier” award. Says what needs to be said and takes action!

This made me pause a bit to understand what you are trying to say because cricket is a huge sport in Sri Lanka

I admire how he is handling it. Everything by the book… he has the authority to do all of it.

This is huge. (did I already say that ? )

Pardon my ignorance, but in what way is it huge? Is he the only conservative Cardinal? Is he particularly influential?

 

[ProVobis]

Is he particularly influential?

Let’s hope so.

lol, I didn’t know that

Cricket and crickets are big in England, too. Should make the Cardinal feel right at home when he visits there.

Well, cricket isn’t as big as football (soccer) in the UK. But in Sri Lanka its THE sport. When I was there for a job for two weeks there was a test match with the UK and everywhere you go the TV is tuned in to the match. And a test match would go on for like 4 days or something. Chances are the good Cardinal is a big fan himself.
