From Rorate Cæli
The salmon-pink-colored pages of the Financial Times are usually not a place to find anything mentioning the traditional Latin Mass and -- gasp -- a Catholic counterrevolution. So it is well worth the read from today's paper to see a columnist touch this point.
Excerpt below.
While church attendance in France continues to scrape along at levels that are a tiny fraction of those seen in the 1950s, the poll suggests that young French Catholics today are highly observant and favour the most traditional forms of ritual, including the Latin mass. And according to the political scientist Yann Raison du Cleuziou, this group, which wields an influence out of all proportion to its size (thanks to social media and other network effects), is at the heart of the re-emergence of conservative Catholicism as a political, as well as religious, force.

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.
