Knight of the Holy Rosary Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yeah...I was extraordinarily uncomfortable with how the liturgy was handled...It was all over the place with the flailing sheets during the offertory and the paper doves during the procession...I don't know it seemed to be a bit much. Lil Red...Did you go to Holy Family for the TLM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red...Did you go to Holy Family for the TLM?[/quote] yes it was beautiful. and actually wasn't concerned as much as the liturgy as i was with 'saint veronica' and fr. tony who looked like he drove a jaguar and really wasn't all that humble. but his creation story was nice. the closing liturgy i didn't really appreciate though. but like i said, a lot of this stuff provided an opportunity for catechesis with my teens when we met in the evening for evening prayer. which was great that we got to do morning and evening prayer.

Lil Red Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 i also didn't appreciate when fr. tony brought up all the new orleans youth and had them bless the whole crowd like a priest would do. that was not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of the Holy Rosary Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Wow! I was near the front row at the same Mass at Holy Family...someone told me there was a group from NCYC their. Yeah, the St. Veronica thing...I heard about that. What was he thinking? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Not to judge the people at the conference, but some of the things they did were wrong. Okay, yeah...Fr. Tony was humorous, but I was a bit perplexed by the whole, "you will never meet a priest more proud or more humble than me!" I understand that his point was that you can be proud of being Catholic and still be a humble person, but it was a little odd to hold himself up like that as the model of of humility. As for the "Saint Veronica" thing...that was just pure emotionalism...he probably confused a lot of teenagers and he had no right to do that, regardless of the tragedy that happened. We shouldn't expect much better, though...we live in a generation in which the catechists themselves aren't well-catechized. I mean, I was never even really catechized...everything I know I learned from figuring it out on my own with the sources the Church provides. Anyway, I think the whole thing was a bit shaky at parts. I can't wait until all the people who graduate from FUS start infiltrating the national catechetical leadership (which is still largely run by non-habited nuns and others who don't place much on orthodoxy or orthopraxis).
