Where and when?<br /><br />Seconldy, I have nothing against the Old Rite Sir Rockin One. That is why I am willing to allow it and work with people who like it.<br /><br />The best way I can explain it is one of taste. It is not something I am into, and therefore have no desire to learn.<br /><br />Father Dave BechtelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-17411010664695467142010-02-18T10:53:50.450-05:002010-02-18T10:53:50.450-05:00And may I also say Father Dave, this insistence by...And may I also say Father Dave, this insistence by you and other priests to never say the Old Mass is curious. What do you have against it?<br /><br />Do you deny the fact that the Ancient Rite is the product of God Almighty Who used Saints throughout history to develop it according to His Holy intention?The Rockin' Traddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655979831127314413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-87365837443708793082010-02-17T22:57:27.237-05:002010-02-17T22:57:27.237-05:00We're not talking about you not saying the Mas...We're not talking about you not saying the Mass if you don't want to. We are talking about the priests of this Diocese that are bullied and threatened when they try to get one started.<br /><br />You won't be bullied if you invite the Neocatechumenal Way into your parish, but watch the excrement fly if you try to schedule the Extraordinary Form.

Unless the priests are prepared to take them to Canonical Court, nothing will happen to them. It is one thing to have a right on paper, quite another to have a right in fact. Unless Rome is going to make sure this document is enforced, nothing will change.<br /><br />That being said, (and I know you will cringe) how about I exercise my God given right NOT to celebrate the Old Rite? I am very happy with the Rite as we celebrate it now. Like Bishop Martino, I believe if the Rite as we have it is celebrated with care and due solemnity, it conveys the same sense of mystery and awe that the Old Rite did. The problem Sir Rockin One is not with the Rite, but "Spirit of Vatican II" priests who try to rewrite Vatican II. <br /><br />You might have a right to the Old Rite, but that does not mean it is my obligation to provide that right. <br /><br />As I said Sir Rockin One, if I was your pastor, and you asked for the Old Rite, my response would be "You find the priest, I will give you the Church. BUT, it may NOT be in place of a regular Sunday Mass. It must be celebrated AFTER all the morning Sunday Masses have been celebrated." <br /><br />Father Dave BechtelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-89754391431117958442010-02-17T17:46:36.492-05:002010-02-17T17:46:36.492-05:00Taking modernism versus traditionalism out of the ...Taking modernism versus traditionalism out of the equation ... anyone being disobedient to the Pope and not fulfilling his duties by adding on extra qualifiers CLEARLY not required by His Holiness for the celebration of the Extraordinary form should be ashamed and corrected. I've been labeled a renegade for making such request for the EF, this relayed from another parishioner - can you imagine - a priest talking behind-the-hand about a parishoner that wishes to celebrate the EF within His Holiness's directives?!!!? It makes me sad, but will continue to fast and pray. His will, not any of ours, be done.<br />PVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
