Should There Be A Universal Language For The Church?
There is more to this documentary, Scenes From A Parish Priest, then what I am conveying here. My objection is the Bilingual Mass and not on the charitable works.
When a young, irreverent priest arrives at Saint Patrick Parish in Lawrence, Massachusetts, he discovers the unexpected—boiling ethnic tensions in a changing working-class community.
Filmed over four years, Scenes from a Parish tells the wildly diverse personal stories of Father Paul OBrien and his unruly flock, as they struggle to hold onto faith in the face of desperate circumstances.
“Steer the faithful, and everyone else, to “Scenes from a Parish,” a surpassingly lucid little documentary. It raises more questions about the church’s place in a changing world–and touches more emotions doing so–than any big- budget studio folderol.”
- Ty Burr, Boston Globe
I don’t understand why the concern for the “church’s place in a changing world”. The Church’s place in the changing world is irrelevant! The 21st century (our changing world) is as irrelevant as the the 1st all the way through to the 20th century. Why the need for the Church to catch up to the changing world? The Catholic Church is not a 21st-century religion.
In a comment I left to: “Scenes From A Parish“ I stated-
“Think Tridentine Mass/Latin Mass. We can ALL buy missals in our own language and follow along with the Mass. Then we can stop the whining and cease with the “WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME” mentality.
