200 parishioners question Bishop Morlino about ‘conservative’ Spanish community

That's MY Bishop! I agree, too many 'extra's' have been allowed to creep in for far too long. To turn the ship around on a true course will seem mutinous to some; many of whom had become attached to the 'spirit of Vatican II' and are disappointed at the return to Tradition. I'm NOT one of them. Unfortunately, instead of leaving, as they are obligated to do (if one does not assent to all the teachings of the Church), the dissidents hand on and continue to confuse, at least in some cases.

Evidently in some cases the adjunct tasks performed at Mass by various lay people have become ends in themselves, to the point of being non-negotiable conditions on attendance by those involved. It's an indictment of the leadership of the Church that this nonsensical notion of "participation" was ever allowed to take root among Catholics, and to develop to the extent that it apparently subordinates even the supreme act of worship that is, or should be, the one and only reason we attend Mass.
