On Saturday the Pope decreed a return to priests using the Old Latin Mass, undoing a Vatican II reform.
This week he is expected to issue a decree declaring the Catholic church the one true church of Jesus Christ.
Next week he will declare that Jesus prefers Prada.
Okay, joking about the last one, but the rest is true, according to WaPo.
Another example of religious extremism on the rise, in the West as well the East.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
Why is it the religious posts instantly attract spam?I like the notion, though, that we're blogging to unite mankind. Kind of makes blogging seem noble, instead of the self-absorbed narcissism that it is.
If I read the story correctly, he's just allowing for more flexibility if a church chooses to have its masses in Latin. And hey, who can argue against more choice? Personally, I think it would be cool the first time because it's a throw-back to the old days, but then I'd realize that I'm not understanding a word the man's saying -- and I do mean man.
And if I don't understand the man of God speaking the Word of God to me, what's the use? How am I supposed to feel filled up by words that have no meaning to me?
Concerning the Catholic Church being the one true church of Jesus Christ. Bullshit. No way, Jose. Peter, who was commanded by Jesus to start His church, may have established the Catholic Church, but that church is no more. In its stead is an establishment that has seen 2,000 years of man-made fallacies and sacrilege reshape its facade to what we have now.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have it out for the Catholic Church by any means. I just think it's preposterous to believe that any church on this green earth is the one true church of Jesus Christ because while the words of Jesus stay the same, we have changed so dramatically.
Open your heart and come along!!!!! (I just had to.)
Oh, and Jesus totally prefers Valentino.
The decree allows a local bishop to permit the 1962 version of the Tridentine mass to be used... the Church has allowed the new rite to be in Latin for a while. Some parishes already have had permission to use the 62 rite (Old St. Mary's in Chinatown) Most of those who long for the days with Mass in Latin have a romanticized memory of what it was like...30 mins.. inaudible prayers, 2 collections, no music. If you want to "punch the ticket" and get out of church quickly, it has its appeal.
