Were there still "invitations to joy" during Fr. Paul's Masses yesterday (02/12)? I go now to another church which, thankfully, did not have anyone "inviting" me to their brand of joy.
Sad to report that the invitation to joy sign was still up in Malesso by the sea but I hear that hardly anyone (new recruits) came to their gatherings. Julius is back from vacation, by the way.
Why doesn't wimpy Byrnes forbid the Neocats' diabolic "Invitation to Joy", both outdoor advertising and during Mass?! Not only is it non-Catholic false advertising, it's total heresy that was never approved by Rome.
Our Pastor would never permit that. He even destroys brochures left in the church by the Society of St. Pius X because they're not in union with Rome. He says he won't tolerate anything that insults the Pope. You can safely bet that there aren't any Neocats in our large, high-profile church. They know where they're unwelcome.
The Pope is hamstrung by episcopal collegiality. He won't interfere in diocesan business unless the laity goes wild over Church scandals in the global media.
Thankfully, there was no billboard calling us "To Joy"!
ReplyDeleteCorrect. It was removed Saturday

The real question appears to be why does the pope tolerate it.
