Revival?

 



Keen-eyed observers of the religious scene may have noticed the stirring of what looks very much like the beginnings of a revival in the Catholic sphere. This year's Eucharistic Congress in the US, the first in some EIGHTY years, is a prime case in point. A great outpouring of faith, not least sacramental.

In Europe? Perhaps something similar, see Cologne's Te Deum, numerous pilgrimages and the flourishing of "ancient faith communities," i.e. people who actually believe and attempt to practice, by the grace of God, the Faith handed down by Christ to the Apostles. We call it orthodoxy. Is this some kind of sea change?




Maybe so. For decades, the Church is monumentally slow, we've been stuck in the ersatz groove of the now ancient, ahem, modernist rebellion of "church renewal." 

Get rid of Altars, Liturgy and all of that triumphalist, elitist music; replace the glory by felt applique banners, guitar playing nuns, liturgical dance, trans marriage, rainbow flags, abortion, and wymxn priestesses. All the colors of the rainbow. Then watch the people applaud and fill the pews.


NO

Except that they didn't, they left the Church in droves, and who can blame them. Why join a Church which reflects your disbelief back to yourself? And that's just it; the people who vandalized and continue to vandalize the Body of Christ, the Mystici Corporis, are faithless apostates who've swapped out the truth of the Gospel for some kind of pathetic watered down, pseudo-pious Marxism. Or, to call out the perverse unicorn in the room, for homosexual sex. 

Enough, stand against this iniquity, and tell your priest to put that Altar back against the wall. Maybe concrete it in.
