They’d rather see a smoking crater filled with bleach and salt than a happy community of young families who thrive on the Vetus Ordo. They absolutely AVOID trying anything like… tradition. So… what is a parish? The way diocesan bishops treat them in this time of priestly drought, who knows? It seems as if the only solution they have is to shut them down or merge them. ![]() It seems that the only reason parishes are important anymore is for the reception of old bequests and for determining which pastor, parish priest, has the right to marry, or can delegate, and where marriages, etc., are to be recorded in the official books. What the heck is a parish? A parish is a portion of the people of God, sometimes circumscribed by territory, sometimes not. And there are, indeed, personal parishes without boundaries. People leave territorial parishes and drive across entire counties to go to another church where they “register”, which does not one jot change their canonical status (unless it is a national or personal parish).

The world and the smoke of Satan entered through those opened windows. That hasn’t happened, and not because some people who decided to remain Catholic fought it. While not doubting that the Novus Ordo is a valid rite and not wholly ineffective, just not as good, and as one contemplates the parallel courses now charting between the world and the Church, one could be prompted to scratch one’s head.Īfter all, Vatican II was supposed to bring about a new springtime of Catholic life.
