But I have heard of this problem in various other seminaries and I certainly have met men who managed to get ordained despite their appallingly idiosyncratic views.

Evidently, the Bishop of Bling used a large quantity of chrism at the Mass and the candles nearly set the altar on fire because of the chrism. Fortunately, one of the servers managed to avoid a catastrophe and got the candles away from the altar.khughes1963https://www.blogger.com/profile/16118365554189078448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1900800634479346046.post-65983944456608777112015-08-10T17:37:05.116-07:002015-08-10T17:37:05.116-07:00Are these seminarians for real?

I can see no other response other than that millennials and Vatican II Catholics like myself hastening for the exits if these "burgeoning schismatics and sedevacsntists" ever get ordained and out into ordinary parishes. It sounds as if they have imbibed strongly of the paranoid style that so many of the sedevacantist and "Katholic.Krazies" exhibit. Richard Hofstadter wrote very well about these people in secular politics, and Michael Cuneo did take on some of the Catholic Right in his book "The Smoke of Satan." I'd certainly love to see Michael Cuneo or another writer take on this particular phenomenon and the links it shares with secular politics in the United States.khughes1963https://www.blogger.com/profile/16118365554189078448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1900800634479346046.post-30882969479426800312015-08-09T18:54:28.713-07:002015-08-09T18:54:28.713-07:00I've seen too many recently ordained who revel...I've seen too many recently ordained who revel in trappings: birettas, cassocks, capes, lace, candles - lots of candles - which they will interrupt their prayers to straighten if, God forbid, an altar server should place one just off center, not to mention maniples (I can't recall seeing one of those in use even in the 50s). It is unfortunate because it seems like the important thing to many of these men is to celebrate form over substance, and to be part of the secret club. It just seems so disappointing.
