It would take me more time than I have to make a list of regressions in the past 30 years. Let me mention a few that are obvious to the laity.- Some bishops won't allow altar girls. - The new English mass text is a horrible throwback that deliberately uses the 1950s phrases even when they are linguistically wrong. (Which matters because the bishops claim they are a linguistic improvement.) - It used to be OK for a priest to be gay in his feelings as long as he remained celibate, just like it's OK for a priest to have heterosexual feelings as long as he remains celibate. Now such men are kicked out of the seminary. - The rules for annulments have been radically changed. The concept of getting an annulment because there never really was a valid meeting of minds and hearts (I don't know the technically correct language) is gone. |
