Fr. Hawker (of the Arcadia Priory) set up a once-a-month Spanish sermon to meet the needs of the Mexican and other Latino Catholics in the Colton, CA chapel (St. Joseph and IHM Chapel). During his sermon, a large majority of the (anglos) 'influential' families got up and left in disgust. This is why my family left our local SSPX chapels.
"A once a month sermon", That's it? And "a large majority" left in disgust?
That's not Catholic." Those people that walked out have not God's grace. What lack of fortitude, for I'm sure that the majority of those that walked out were just following one or two leaders (instigators).
Hey, if a sermon is lame, we all will tend to think of other things, though I try to keep it Catholic, maybe meditating about a passage in the gospel or in any other writing in the missal, or meditating on my own needs before God. What's the big deal about not listening/ tuning out a sermon in say Vietnamese once a month?
Those people who walked out are not Catholic.
