HOW DO WE APPLY CARDINAL ARINZE'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO OUR PARISHES IN GUAM

(posted by Frenchie)



Several things always surprise outsiders when they go to worship in a Catholic Church on Guam.

The pleasant ones are, that overall the services are well attended, and they are represented by multi generational  attendees. (it is not unusual to see four generations on the same pew). Men in general are more numerous in our churches than on those of the mainland or in Europe. This is a very heartening situation, in view of the very aggressive anti-male and anti-father movement which characterize our modernist society.
On Guam, many fathers attend Church with their families, and for the most part children are fairly well behave.

WHY WE CARE

“I am convinced that the crisis in the Church that we are experiencing today is to a large extent due to the disintegration of the liturgy…” (Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Milestones, p. 147).

CATHOLIC FUNERALS: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

The following is from an article in Catholic World Report, Sept 9, 2013:



You’re probably witnessing liturgical abuses when the woman in the pew behind you asks out loud, “What the hell is he doing?”
