“We Have to Learn How to be Roman Priests Again”; Wherein Fr. Z Rants

. . .our Catholic identity was devastated after the Council, particularly due to a loss of the sense of the transcendent in our worship & our church buildings.  In well-intentioned attempts to undo of the damage, some have thought to appropriate elements of Eastern Christianity, which did not undergo such a dramatic loss of the transcendent.  They started to “byzantinize” our Latin churches. . . No.  We have our own Latin traditions which ought to be recovered. . .
