[Apologetics] Whose Rite Is It Anyway?

[Stephen Korsman]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, this was bound to happen. There are those in the Roman Catholic Church who look down upon those 'other' Catholics. They think they have no right to their 'strange' and 'ancient' liturgy in a dead language, well at least not side by side in churches with the ordinary form of the Roman Rite. Now things are starting to get ugly at St. Michael's Church.


  "On that day, people from the ... parish started provoking us. They said we had no right to be there and that they were the only legitimate worshippers in that church. A heated argument followed and some of us were pushed and hit. It seemed to be a pre-planned job as the police had been stationed there from 6 am," said Sunil John
I know what you are thinking. It was inevitable. This bitterness and infighting is the inevitable result of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. That progressives are fighting the traditionalist in the church over which liturgy is better? Think again.
