The Anti-Modernist

Today I had the pleasure of being present in a Mass where the revised missal was being used. It was indeed enjoyable, but I was so tempted to do responses in Latin...LOL. I would have to say that it was nice to see a parish community so accepting of the changes and participating in the Mass. As much as I like the changes which have taken place, I must still say that in many ways I favor the EF, especially because the communicant receives on the tongue (and kneeling too).

Human kind has a predisposition to sin.   This is of course a result of our ancestors fall from grace and it is for this reason that we must battle concupiscence (inclination and weakness drawing us to sin).   Still, more important to note, is that fact that we are often engaged in battle, but our battle is not with people per se; ...
