I've heard of a priest who publicly scolded somone for receiving the Blessed Sacrament with dirty hands.

Those who left the church after VII, left due to poor implementation and/or poor instruction concerning the promulgation of the Pauline Mass (the Novus Ordo).

Seriously though, no one will stop going to Mass because we actually start working within the rubrics. i agree that some might be a little confused. It isn't anuthing that a brief explanation a couple of times before Mass won't clear up.
The phrase "reform of the reform" means the implementation of VII rubrics as they were intented. The Church is not "changing," it is merely finally adhereing to pre-exisiting norms that have been in place for nearly 30 years.

Those things that you mention, those fundemental things, are exactly what the reform of the reform is all about.

i understand what you are saying, and I agree... i get somewhat uneasy when people casually speak of reform... besides, it wouldn't technically be a "reform" but a "return"

It didn't seem to bother them 35 years ago.

[quote]omg yes! I sooo wanted to go to confession today to get that plenerary indulgence but I didn't wake up early enough to get to St. Boniface (Latin Mass, they have confession 30 mins before Mass)

ah well, I was still blessed by Pope Benedict XVI!!! WOOOHOOO (Arinze had been given special faculties to give the pope's blessing)

I got his autograph and talked to him a little... did you stay for the reception in the yard? he came there... it was pretty cool.[/quote]

hehe. ahhhhh sooooo exciting!!! We've been blessed by the Pope!!!!!! : I was SO pleased that I had made it to confession that morning.

I didn't get to talk to His Emminence as I was with dad and he wanted to go home. What did you talk with him about (if you don't mind me asking! )
