. . . I thought it was interesting because it shows that novelties existed before the NO mass was made public.
What do you think?
I had a discussion with my dad last night about the 1960s. He talked about liberal priests jumping ahead and acting on their expectations of what was going to emerge from Vatican II. The priest at my home parish (before I was born) got married near the conclusion of or immediately following Vatican II. Also, in trying to find some more info about that modernist heretic, I came across this:
http://books.google.com/books?id=OqdNN9R9OHcC&pg=PA57&lpg=PA59&ots=J7z122rPI1&dq=fr.+eugene+e.+ryan&output=html_textThis outlines how the liturgical changes were gradually introduced in one rural KY diocese starting several years before the NO was made public. Reading between the lines, liturgical novelties during the 1960s are not at all surprising.
The article I link is very disturbing in that it demonstrates how sinister the bishop was (and I am sure this was the design from further up the hierarchy) in seeking to implement the changes gradually so as to cause the least questioning and balking from the sheeple.
As to the picture in the op, perhaps this priest and these young ladies are engaged in a completely orthodox Roman Catholic endeavor totally undeserving of some smart@$$ such as myself coming along some 40+ years later and quipping that it looks like father is telling them what seminary is going to be like. But I can't resist.
