The bureaucracy lacks the himility to examine itself. Any criticism, no matter how valid or charitably expressed, is swept away and deemed "irrelevant" before it can get a fair hearing. Because of this, growth in holiness is impossible. Which is why we have "gay pride" and a diocese which is disintegrating.Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-68288308780759431942011-11-25T08:48:46.154-08:002011-11-25T08:48:46.154-08:00I think many Boston area Catholics were angered an...I think many Boston area Catholics were angered and put off at the funeral Mass for Senator Edward Kennedy. Now the same Cardinal who couldn't have cared less about the outrage expressed by devout Catholics over the scandalous Kennedy funeral is inviting people to return to Masses in the Archdiocese.<br /><br />Maybe he should repent of the scandalous Kennedy funeral and the "Gay Pride" Mass at St. Cecilia's?HolyCrossStudentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-36250391658310739692011-11-25T08:03:13.720-08:002011-11-25T08:03:13.720-08:00The Cardinal described the Mass as a "family ...The Cardinal described the Mass as a "family meal." What he didn't say, and what the Holy Spirit DOES say in 1 Corinthians 11:29, is that, "..anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself."<br /><br />In other words, we must be properly disposed to receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. Those engaging in homosexual acts or celebrating "pride" in the homosexual lifestyle are not so disposed.<br /><br />What a tragedy that the Cardinal didn't use his pastoral letter to emphasize this truth.Michael Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489929697997071892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-70638454593208966222011-11-25T07:46:21.279-08:002011-11-25T07:46:21.279-08:00The politicization of the Mass at St. Cecilia'...The politicization of the Mass at St. Cecilia's Parish in Boston last June was just sad. The Mass is not the place for theatre or for promoting "sexual liberation." I saw the whole unfortunate episode as evidence of the demonic at that parish. That the Archdiocese would stand with Father Unni was equally troubling.BostonCatholic2011noreply@blogger.com
