  • Do we, here at Cathinfo, have a collective opinion about the New Oxford Review?  I used to read them about ten years ago.

  • I used to read them about ten years ago, too. I think they are very "Hermaneutic of continuity", so I would stay away from them. There were a few articles I read that I wouldn't agree with.


    By the way, great article on the "consumerism" of The FSSP. I attended a SSPX Mass in a hotel in Corpus Christi where the FSSP came in after the SSPX started to grow and established a Tridetine Mass sypholing Mass attendees with the claims of schism. The FSSP then left and left the parishioners with a diocesan Mass, but the SSPX still holds Masses in hotels because of whole thing. It caused a division in the area. It's too bad.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    Consumerism?  You mean that piece I wrote last week, "FSSP harbors aggressive resentment towards the SSPX"?

    Yeah, that's right. The way they compete with churches like Wal-Mart vs. Target is very distasteful.
