Woah hoo, free pass for Me!

Gracepoole , rollie eyes aren’t very Charitable certainly for us Catholics. I adhere to traditional Catholic values of Faith. Hope. Charity. And Mercy.

Huh? The bishops who wrote the documents of Vatican went home to implement them. Who are we supposed to be upset with?
 
The ones who implemented Vatican II wrongly, and turned traditional Catholic liturgy on its head. They outlawed many practices that had been REQUIRED up until Vatican II, then they were outlawed.
Kneeling for communion. Many of the rubrics for communion.

The Bishops who voted on the documents are the ones who implemented them. I try really hard not tobe upset with what a bishop does or allows.
 
I got to kneel to receive Holy Eucharist for the first time last Christmas. I’d like to make it a tradition.

Yes, I was recommended this series by one or more of you folks from a CAF topic I created, and I’m not disappointed.

You see, it’s not always a complete loss. 🙂

It’s not Sherlock Holmes, but qualitatively, I’m quite impressed. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie are not too shabby. Sherlock will likely remain my favorite, however.

I’ve enjoyed them from the start. Also the Joan Hickson “Miss Marple”. She has the distinction of actually looking like the Jane Marple as Dame Agatha described her, not the bloodhound Margaret Rutherford or the physically smaller and plumper ones a la Helen Hayes. Miss Marple was tall, slender (ramrod straight from years of good posture), thick abundant white hair, ‘guileless’ blue eyes, and the only fluffy/wooly part of her was the knitting she was usually surrounded by, or her sometimes disjointed speech which came about more from wanting to phrase things in a very specific way. I often wish that Dame Agatha had written a story in which the two characters ‘met’ (the way for example that P.D. James had her two most famous detectives, Adam Dalgliesh and Cordelia Gray, not only meet but even have a short relationship).

EDIT TO ADD: I also do not like when “traditional Catholics” claim that the modern Mass is somehow invalid. That’s just silliness.

I don’t like calling those people “traditional Catholics”

Anyone who thinks the ordinary form is invalid isn’t a traditional Catholic, they are heretics.
 
There was another British series roughly around the same time as the start of the Suchet/ Hickson series (late 1980s if I recall) which did some of Dorothy L Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey novels. While a lot of people liked Ian Carmichael’s earlier Lord Peter (1972) I found him physically too, um, rough-looking and a tad long in the tooth. Edward Petherbridge in this series, 1987 I believe, was a much more physically true to life Wimsey.

Of course, nothing ever really beats books themselves!
 
I think it is important to remember that no matter what “slant” or “leaning” is, (conservative, traditional, etc.) we are first and foremost Catholic. The Church is universal and that is what unites us. However, I think labels like these are often used to differentiate how one practices their Faith, since in today’s world, saying that you’re Catholic could mean a variety of different things. I don’t think these labels necessarily detract from the Faith as long as you don’t allow them to become divisive or a source of pride. God bless.
 
Can I make a Southern pitch for Peach Pie (or cobbler or both) a la mode?! Yum!
