What is madding is that those that attend services in Portland think this is normal. Its all so feel good. When Fr. Cary was named Bishop of Baker I was shocked that we had a priest of his quality in our archdioceses. I am sure there are very good priest but I think that they operate under the radar. Throwing good priests under the bus is common now days. When the new archbishop arrives, he will have a monumental task. Turning this around will be very difficult.<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-4166926075179283552012-05-02T07:16:16.176-07:002012-05-02T07:16:16.176-07:00Gak!

My. Goodness. That sounds appalling. I've ...Oh. My. Goodness. That sounds appalling. I've been to a novus ordo once since I began attending the TLM, and I did not feel comfortable with it at all. <br /><br />My daughter had her First Holy Communion last december in the Latin Rite, and it was beautiful. It was pretty much like your regular High Mass, but when it came time for the Eucharist, the children took their Communion first. <br /><br />Kneeling at the rail.<br /><br />On the tongue. <br /><br />The only photos in the church were taken by the church photographer, and the photo op was only after Mass was concluded. <br /><br />There are now a few churches that I know of that hold regular TLMs. My main church (a half hour up the road which is pretty much all TLM all the time), and another church about 3 min around the corner where Father was with SSPX and has a Low Mass on the first sunday of every month at 7am before the usual NO Masses. <br /><br />I'll be supporting Father around the corner on the first sunday of the month. <br /><br />There's another church in the City which holds a TLM (Low) on wednesday evenings, and one of our country churches has a TLM once a month. These are the ones that I know of, and the City and country church Masses have Fathers from my main church saying the Mass. <br /><br />I just wish you could all come over here to participate in our small but growing community.Nilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872495050796257177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-83265584967381280382012-05-02T05:29:28.909-07:002012-05-02T05:29:28.909-07:00Wow.

So sad, for the children of course. Lord have mercy.<br /><br />ElizabethElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-39835227414079875492012-05-01T20:52:38.435-07:002012-05-01T20:52:38.435-07:00I love the TLM--it precludes ad libbingI love the TLM--it precludes ad libbing3 Bits Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579615277466041072noreply@blogger.com
