That's the one big problem with forums. If you haven't kept up, you end up replying as you go along to a message, and then suddenly come upon a message where you realize that perhaps you shouldn't be posting, thus making you look like you ignore such directives!

The allies you talk about are definitely there.
They've become our allies because they too have become a persecuted minority! 
I think we better pay fine attention to Fr. Deacon Ed . . .
He sounds a bit put off, and I can't imagine him like that.

I have a great respect and admiration for the Roman Catholic Church and wouldn't dream of starting a thread to bash it. I just had some "why" questions that I was hoping to get answered quickly and concisely.
Please forgive me if I was out of line on this. [/b]Paul, Your question was fine (although really belonged in some other forum since this is a Byzantine forum and not a Latin forum). The problem was with some of the other posters who, for whatever reason, felt a need to disparage the liturgical praxis of the Latin Church. Fr. Deacon Edward

I may or may not be older than Deacon Ed, but I actually do remember Vatican II. Pius XII was not against having a council, but thought that extensive preparation needed to take place before one could be called. A valid criticism of John XXIII has been, it seems to me, that he threw together a council at the last minute without adequate preparation. Of course, he didn't live to see it through, but I remember that he wouldn't allow Mass in the vernacular. In the hands of Paul VI, I thought the German theologians actually sidetracked the council to fit their own agendas. I do expect to see some corrections made during the pontificate of good Pope Benedict, whom I consider to be a gift to the Church.

Paul,
You might have missed my question before; but did you ever get a chance to attend any services at St. John Cantius?
Logos Teen No, not yet but when I do I'll tell you all about it. Thanks.
