At least he has never hi-jacked an airliner as happened a while back when a former Cistercian did so with the demand that the third secret be released. I must admit when the third secret was released a few years ago it was difficult to see why it had not been made public at the begining of the 1960`s as it was supposed to be. Sr Lucia vouched for the veracity of the released third secret but then of course we all know that the real Sr Lucia had been done away with and an imposter put in her place.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-53642211329270307032007-05-15T16:08:00.000+01:002007-05-15T16:08:00.000+01:00Aelianus and Hebdomadary, I quite agree.

If taken to its logical conclusion I imagine the whole Missal and indeed the whole practice of Christianity could be taken as being offensive to the Jews when we claim Jesus of Nazareth to be divine.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-33543345599089809232007-05-15T16:05:00.000+01:002007-05-15T16:05:00.000+01:00Sweep, I agree that that would be ridiculous and I...Sweep, I agree that that would be ridiculous and I`m sure the Pope is aware of that. I hope that is the reason the whole thing has taken such a long time: that he is making sure that this legislation will really make a difference and not be swept under the carpet.<BR/><BR/>As for the profile I think a blogging priest ought to keep himself a bit of a mystery.

It would call into question the universality of the Gospel and lend support to the ‘two covenants’ heresy. It would also gravely weaken any hopes of ending the SSPX schism by signalling that the MP would only be a liturgical provision rather than an affirmation of doctrinal continuity between the pre and post conciliar Church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-69317443717868232492007-05-14T17:25:00.000+01:002007-05-14T17:25:00.000+01:00I found the column next to the Tridentine one more...I found the column next to the Tridentine one more amusing.

Before: You can say traitional Mass only if your bishop allows it. After: You can say traditional Mass only if your Bishop doesn't disallow it. That's ludicrous. What's changed, really? They can't keep that clause in, surely.<BR/>Father, on another matter, why is your complete profile not what it says it is? All it does is state the bl----n' obvious. I thought it was going to tell us all about you - your background etc, what made you what you are, height, weight, eye colour, favourite colour etc. This sounds like a request for a link to a Father Brown Fan Club so I'll be quiet now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
