The Loss of the Sacred

This is a MUST read - especially for any parish priests and other bishops. His Eminence, Bishop Arthur Serratelli has penned an article that needs to be read. The Loss of the Sacred. Here are a couple excerpts: The anti-authoritarian prejudice that we have inherited from the social revolution of the '60’s imprinted on many a deep mistrust not only of government but of Church. .... Teaching about the Mass began to emphasize the community. The Mass was seen as a community meal. It was something everyone did together. Lost was the notion of sacrifice. Lost the awesome mystery of the Eucharist as Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. The priest was no longer seen as specially consecrated. He was no different than the laity. With all of this, a profound loss of the sacred. Will someone please send this letter to Cardinal Mahoney? Anyone have his e-mail? Hat tip to Fr. Z at WDTPRS.
