    Pope turns his back on the People! Really!

    Pope faces the East today, in a move not done by a Pope since Vatican II. Another reform of the reform, hope all those liberal are looking!

    In Liberal I meant those who wish to destroy the tradition of the liturgy. The pope has placed more on going back to older things, which has been criticized by such Liberal Cardinals as Cormack Murphy O'Connor.

    Mass with the priest facing the altar is not just restricted to the Eastern Orthodox Church. If you go to St Kevin's Church on Harrington Street at 11 a.m. on Sunday, you'll find a wonderful Catholic Tridentine Mass celebrated that's extremely well attended by both old and young. When you consider the likes of the Knock Basilica (a by-product of Vatican II modernism), the old way is a breath of fresh air.
