VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|HarryR|DATE|1371240807|CONTENT|I know nothing about the old or new English texts for the RC mass but the comments in the link to the Tablet article remind me of the sort of toss that made no sense to me as a teenager. The comments are seemingly by adults who never moved on tho they don&#039;t reveal why not. It&#039;s definitely toss and they don&#039;t even like it.

I note that AB of Oz Pell was major force behind the new text. I first became aware of him on the QandA discussion between him and Richard Dawkins. Arrogant willful ignorance is a term that could have been invented for him tho he basically accused Dawkins of that along with everyone else who isn&#039;t a conservative catholic.

The commenters on The Tablet article kept referring to the wonderful defining moment that was Vatican II and asked why the new text moves the mass away from the spirit of that new dawn. Don&#039;t they realise that the top of the church despise Vat II and want to reverse it? How obvious does it need to be?

At least while the world is talking about the new pope and the new text at least we&#039;re [i]not[/i] talking about the systematic global rape and torture of children by the precious priests of the church, aided and abetted by the institution of the church both to evade arrest and to increase their access to potential victims. Or insisting that medicos watch a women die of blood poisoning rather than terminate a doomed pregnancy.

How catholics around the world can retain their goodwill for this organisation defies comprehension. They should at least have a revolution and refound the church even if they want to keep their beliefs.|IP-ADDRESS|80.153.30.244|MODERATIONFLAG|
