text: I guess I assume that anything voted on is either passed or not.   I am sure that changes will come but will the Catholic church survive the change?  By going back to the Latin Rite Mass many - and that includes a couple of popes, scores of cardinals and many bishops as well as a vocal minority of the North American and southern European lait - don't want to see Vatican II implemented and will fight to the death to see it is not!.  Many want to take the church backwards not forwards.  My fear is that we are tearing the church apart because two sides that can not coexist.  I too miss Disqus and Crux not only for their editing ability but for our lively discussions.  I learned much.  Now it is only one-way information which we have to like it or lump it.  As usual, no one wants to hear from the laitat least those who want change.  And what is with the character counter?
