Sir, - As an enthusiastic American-Irish Catholic reader of your paper on the Internet, I want to comment on the Irishman's Diary of June 18th by Patsy McGarry.
So "the Dublin Priest wants the renewal promised by Vatican II.Christ and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Secular humanism is currently the animating force of Western society. Secular humanists see Catholic faith and the Mass as enemies of reason, and they seek their banishment from public life to the nether regions of multicultural trivia and unimportance.
Secular humanism's most triumphant moment in this conflict came at Vatican II when the Church replaced the old order of Mass with the new order of Mass. Vatican II is secular humanism's Trojan Horse in the City of God.
By every objective measurement, Vatican II is to Catholic tradition what the iceberg was to the Titanic - and all those who still seek the glories of its promised renewal are foolishly dancing on the deck of a sinking ship.
Father Forristal reports that "the Dublin Priest" is impatient with those who fail to lead the way to such renewal. "The Dublin Priest" should develop a great deal of patience in waiting for the renewal of Vatican II he is waiting for Godot. - Yours, etc.,
