So many priests these days are more concerned with making people <i>feel</i> good rather than <i>being</i> good. Some go to great lengths to avoid making any disturbance or imposition on anyone, even if that so-called disturbance may cost a parishioner their soul. In the NY archdiocese scandalous <i>Kathlyc</i> politicians such as Christine Quinn, a frontrunner to be the next NYC mayor (openly homosexual, living with her "wife"/partner, promoting contraception, abortion and homosexual "marriage" while in public office) and NY State Governor Andrew Cuomo (divorced and living with girlfriend and also promoting contraception, abortion and homosexual "marriage" while in public office) receive the Eucharist every Sunday. I guess that they are most concerned with not offending any sinners. If any of the laity complain they'll quickly get shouted down by various professional Catholics for being uncharitable and rude.<br /><br />The times I've been to a Saturday afternoon Mass I was surprised by how many people almost ran out the door after receiving Communion. They can't even stay around for two more hymns and an announcement? Really? I suppose it's just one more consequence of decades of bad religious education, pablum feel-good sermons and a complete rejection of anything (everything?) that happened before 1965.<br /><br />The words of then Cardinal Ratzinger about the Church becoming smaller and loosing power & prestige are proving to be quite prophetic.<br /><br />I'm very thankful that I have access to so many internet resources, blogs, online traditional Catholic sermon recordings at <a href="http://www.audiosancto.org/" rel="nofollow">Audio Sancto</a> and on You Tube, the FSSP and SSPX online information, just to name a few. If this stuff had been around in the 1980s - 90s I doubt I would have drifted away from the Church for 10+ years. <br /><br />Dominus Vobiscum<br /><br />[I apologize if this turnout to be a redundant comment.

I try to avoid the Saturday afternoon Mass because the exodus of people after Communion is ridiculous. Even more so than it can be on Sunday at my local NO parish. Cant they even be bothered with staying for two more hymns and a few announcements? Considering how many people were taught that the Eucharist is just a symbol and hearing pablum "feel-good" sermoons every week, it's not surprising to hear how low regular Mass attendance has dropped since the 1960s. I feel blessed to have access to resources such as your blog and audio of traditional Catholic sermons at <a href="http://www.audiosancto.org" rel="nofollow"> Audio Sancto</a>. People in the 70s-early 2000s weren't as fortunate.<br /><br />Dominus VobiscumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-5847390142538955212013-06-08T15:01:10.124-05:002013-06-08T15:01:10.124-05:00Thank you, Be Catholic, for your reply.

WHAT LIARS FROM HELL THEY WERE.<br /><br />Sunday fulfills our Sunday obligation. Saturday does not. Case %#@!# closed. <br /><br />Nobody EVER had to go to Confession because they were working the emergency room all day Sunday. Those who committed this lie were enemies of the Catholic Church. They know it. And so do I.<br /><br />I work out of state many hours from home. Come Sunday I drive another two hours to get to a real Catholic Mass. No sleeping in. No grass gets cut or cars get washed or any other chores that waited all week for me to get home. Even the football god doesn't get to intrude on my holy day. Why? Because it is HIS DAY, not mine or anybody else's and so I give it to Him. It has been MY GREAT JOY to do so!<br /><br />Be Catholic!noreply@blogger.com
