The Boom Has Been Lowered and I Can't Help Offering My Thoughts

It was another eventful week in the Catholic Church. As one friend said to me today, "It's exhausting!"  That certainly is true, but it is also something we have to reckon with as the faithful whether we like it or not. Pope Francis took a step, which was somewhat expected, regarding the status of the Traditional Latin Mass. It was a bigger step that many had anticipated. It basically erased the actions of two prior Popes and restricted the Latin Mass, the Extraordinary Form in a serious, and some feel, draconian way. I add my puny comments to the plethora of those that have flooded the internet this past week.
