Sorry! Mea Culpa!It is evidently a typist's error that has caused, to the left of this box and elsewhere on this website and in the parish bulletin, something which contains times for the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass to be included in something mistakenly labelled as a "Mass Schedule." Far be it from us to include such uncouth and despicable liturgical throwbacks in the real Mass Schedule. Please ignore them wherever you see such ignorant writings, for they imply (again, in error) that "normal" Catholics might be invited to join in the "special" group (and you know what "special" means in this case) of lost people clinging to such outdated nonsensical Masses. In reality, these schedules were meant only for the sake of saving "normal" people from inadvertently wandering in during said "special people's" Masses and being scandalized beyond their spiritual and/or mental capabilities by the reverence and solemnity they will find there. This also helps us assure the "normal" people that they will not have any activities scheduled during the "special people's" Mass times, so that they don't catch cooties from the marginalized TLMers by being in the near vicinity of such a group of misfits.
Oops! Mea Culpa times 2! I'm terribly sorry once again, for, and I quote, "There is no intention in these provisions to marginalise the faithful who are rooted in the previous form of celebration: they are only meant to remind them that this is a concession to provide for their good" yet they are called "marginalized" in the preceding paragraph. Oh, wait! I rightly pointed out that they are being "marginalized" (with a "z") by not being able to even have the TLMs listed in the Mass schedule. The dubia response (click if you wish to read it) says that this is not intended to "marginalise" (with an "s") them, so I suppose that clears it all up! No harm, no foul. But please, don't intermingle or pray with those "special" people, or you will be "disobedient" to Rome.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
