Sorry if it sou...No I don't attend your parish. Sorry if it sounded like that. I live in southern California. I know a lady who grew up in your parish and has family out there. She gave me that parish history book, which I just happen to be looking at last week. I actually didn't know you attended that parish and just looked at the book as an interesting book. Then your post came out, and I went to see the picture of your church in a PDF from when the Latin Mass was celebrated (an older post), and I said, this looks familiar. Then I put two and two together. It's a really great story, and I wish this story for every parish. Obviously the great grace from God for our generation, if indeed it is for us, is to take part in the restoration. Really a singular opportunity that we all shouldn't drop the ball on, for our part.

I have consulted all the old books - the one from 2006, plus the one from the late 80's and all the old bulletins going back to the 50's even.Bonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672810254075072214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-56934273351881020662011-05-04T16:30:33.692-04:002011-05-04T16:30:33.692-04:00I assume you have the book that traces the history...I assume you have the book that traces the history of the parish? It is a green book with gold lettering. I think it is pretty recent (published in the 80s or 90s?). There are some good shots of the church in there and the changes. The parish wasn't destroyed, but they did remove some of the more beautiful aspects of it. There was a nice pulpit which is gone. There was painted Gloria in Excelsis Deo at the entrance of the apse. The reredos at the altar are reduced too. All in all you've gotten though it quite well.

This makes me wonder ho...I can’t wait to read more.<br />This makes me wonder how it all happened. <br /><br />Was there some kind of psychological effect of the 1960s; did political, social and church revolutions make some bishops tolerate or even promote this kind of stuff? <br /><br />Clearly Vatican II and the rules thereafter do not allow and do not encourage these kinds of situations. But did simply relaxing discipline and putting emphasis on pleasing people create psychological impact that resulted in such an acceptance of this for decades? And what does that say of the Church 20 years before the 1960s revolutions? I would love to find out specific causes, who, what, where, and how because the problems seem to have started to generate in the 1940s I think..Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998296715568420559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-33548280724003729282011-04-28T16:55:17.410-04:002011-04-28T16:55:17.410-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801369779625472334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-10065660560967219522011-04-28T11:45:30.483-04:002011-04-28T11:45:30.483-04:00"When I was cleaning out a closet after I bec..."When I was cleaning out a closet after I became Youth Director, I found a pile of bizarre, cardboard masks that looked like African or Aztec gods.
