text: Part II.  Our own elders, bishops if you will, don't all seem to be of the same mind when it comes to internal vs external forum.  The best Catholic spiritual advisers I've met have had the same understanding of right rubrics.  It's necessary for communal expression precisely because there are so many Catholics whose understanding of Catholic spirituality is all in the external rubrics.  No matter what one personally believes about the efficacy of women's ordination, one has to admit the ritualized Mass is a long long way from the Last Supper.  We have replace efficacious informality with pretty much a very ritually involved magic show.  I just don't get why we waste so much energy on whether everything is just right, while we waste no time on does any of this actually impact reality?  I would say Catholic belief is about as effective in changing reality as the placebo effect.  Indigenous spiritual practices seem to me to be way more effective.  I suspect Pope Francis thinks so too.
