Thank you, Irishpol for your comment. I should qualify my comment and say that although I don't go to Mass much, I do go infrequently, which is better than some of my siblings, or neighbors who are CAtholic and don't go. I have heard of, but have not atteded the LAtin Mass, but I have watched it on Sundays on Youtube broadcast by what is known as the SSPX site. THeir MAsses are beautiful. I love …More
Thank you, Irishpol for your comment. I should qualify my comment and say that although I don't go to Mass much, I do go infrequently, which is better than some of my siblings, or neighbors who are CAtholic and don't go. I have heard of, but have not atteded the LAtin Mass, but I have watched it on Sundays on Youtube broadcast by what is known as the SSPX site. THeir MAsses are beautiful. I love the Gregorian chant, which I researched and know some of which is 1,000+ years old. The hymns and chants in my other relatives EAstern Orthodox Church go back even further. Even though I am not an older CAtholic, or even middle aged, I have come to not understand how in the world the CAtholic Church could ever allow its entire tradition (liturgy,music,art,religious life, seminary life and disipline) to be thrown out years ago and replaced with trash...literally. Same goes for the Papacy. I looked on YouTube not long ago and types in "Pope Pius XII" and saw clips of ceremonies and MAsses conducted by this holy man. I'm just starting to investigate the Church deeply, because I took a class in college 18 1/2 months ago on CAtholic Church history which was fascinating, but the period after 1960's was boring as H--- with the topics discussed that we still hear today..women priests.
I came to the conclusion that this good Pope Pius XII was a true, real Pope who looked and acted like a real Pope. John XXIII was a well meaning buffoon, Paul VI reminded me of a "cry-baby" too weak to change course after he saw the disaster the Church was turning into,, and JPII as an "showman" or actor who liked to be the center of attention, while Francis isn't a Catholic at all but rather an instrument of the radical leftist/homosexualist agenda that has infiltrated many governments in Europe. He is the worst, as are his appointees. He is not a true Pope, but is just like all the worst and most progressive of the apparatchiks of the European Union
