No-frills Catholicism: Low Mass with Fr Chris Tessone and Bishop Tim Cravens

• Larry writes about the generational divide of low-church elders and high-church youngsters in his own denomination.
• Lark News is a humour site but Fr Deacon Methodius Hayes, Fr Joseph Huneycutt and others also notice this moving up the candle among Protestants (as one can see in the emergent-church phenom), and Fr Methodius notes the wrongness of ‘Orthodoxy lite’ or cutting and pasting rites, usings thing from a tradition you don’t really understand, like icons.
• Spikery (not being high ceremonially and doing things correctly, which are good things, but caring more about the production values of the services than what they really mean) is a caricature of Catholicism. Abusus non tollit usum, but Tripp and his congregation discuss the abuses that can creep into one’s thinking about all this.
