What so many of us are thinking

He knows how things should be in the Church

Thank God for Cardinal Raymond Burke L. Burke! From Catholic News Service:
ROME (CNS) -- A weakening of faith in God, a rise in selfishness and a drop in the number of people going to Mass in many parts of the world can be traced to Masses that are not reverent and don't follow church rules, said two Vatican officials and a consultant.

"If we err by thinking we are the center of the liturgy, the Mass will lead to a loss of faith," said U.S. Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, head of the Vatican's supreme court. ...

Unfortunately, he said, too many priests and bishops treat violations of liturgical norms as something that is unimportant when, in fact, they are "serious abuses."

Seriously, how many of our bishops in the United States speak out like this? Far too few, I'm afraid. Maybe at least they'll start listening.
