Respect, laughter, or derision?

Found a new site.

Clutching My Rosary

http://www.clutchingmyrosary.com/blog/?p=10476

Let us adore Christ, the King, who ruleth the nations; who giveth fatness of spirit to them that eat him.


Wisdom prosecutes the fulfillment of the divine plan framed before all ages. His union, or, to use the scriptural expression, his marriage, with human nature, in the womb of his Virgin Mother, has shown his love; and Jesus, that Son of Man who never had any personality but the Word Himself, immolated on the Cross, in a daily renewed Sacrifice, offers an infinite glory to the Eternal Father. But the august Victim, who comes down upon earth at the word of the Priest, does not return to heaven amidst some sacred flame, like that which used to consume the ancient holocausts. Immoveable and passive as are the elements whose substance has been changed into His by the marvellous power of the sacrifice,—He, Jesus, remains at the Altar under the appearance of Bread and Wine, for such they seem to be to the eyes and the other senses:—this is the Blessed Sacrament, the outward sensible sign of a mysterious banquet.

I can't read something like this and not wonder if the author is writing from inside an asylum. I couldn't find any credit for who wrote this or who it is clutching his rosary.

This is what he has reduced his life to. He writes this kind of stuff every day. Harmless? Perhaps, but not helpful. I can't see this kind of obsession as being benign.

what that writer is doing, I guess. It doesn't really matter, in the grand scheme of things, though.

I doubt it will attract much of a readership. It's interesting that it's anonymous, though. I suppose this person thinks he/she is doing "the work of the Lord."

Note: The owner of the domain is hidden, so this person is truly trying to remain anonymous.

It doesn't look as though he's trying to stir things up. He looks like more of the Submit type.

movement. They want the old Catholic Church, pre-Vatican II. That's what his unread writings sound like to me. A loner writing things for his own reasons. It's a sad sort of thing, really.

guitar players and other "modern" adaptations to please some people. Most of them also want nuns back in habits. They want the Church to behave as though even the 20th century never happened.

If they got what they wanted, of course, the churches would empty out even faster than they are already. Soon enough, there would be few people at most masses. But, the traditionalists don't care about that. They want their old, familiar church back.
