“Pope Francis’ remarks are yet another sign of his anxiety over the traditional direction in which young Catholics are carrying the Church....Across much of the Catholic world, young traditionalists are competing against old progressives. Ironies abound, as youths who revere the venerable face off against elders who chase the up-to-date, and progressives who fear the future battle with traditionalists who loathe their immediate forebears.” [b]~ Matthew Schmitz[/b], in [b][i]“The Kids Are Old Rite”[/i][/b] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2xgX8rq[/c]

i am thinking of a late-teens me in the deep south in the mid 80's. newly away from home. trying to engage in the faith of my upbringing but encountering something that was entirely unintelligible to me, and quite honestly, openly hostile.

love the picture. reminds me of my childhood.
