Father Abe Brings The Extrodinary Form To His Neck Of The Phillipines!

Check out Father Abe, CSR! Over at his blog, The Splendor of the Truth he has posted photos of himself celebrating his first TLM, and likely the first TLM in that part of the Phillipines (Sorsogon Province) since the Pauline rite entered the picture! (see more…)

I am not one to stump for the old rite or rail against the new. I am at peace either way, though I seldom attend either. Mostly what this Greek Catholic finds pleasing about this news on these islands on the other his world is this: Catholics far and wide across the four corners are enthusiastically exploring their patrimony and different new (to them!) elements of prayer and spirituality. As much as some people maintained that there would be a limited or exclusive appeal of the old rites, honestly, that is just not proving to be the case.

Way to go Father A!
