Regime News Agency: Catholics Take Over Church in the USA
The former news agency APNews.com published on May 1 a description of the U.S. Church written by a certain Tim Sullivan. Pay attention to the propagandistic tune of the article [corrected with the expressions in brackets]. Quotes.
• “Across the U.S., the Catholic Church is undergoing an immense shift. Generations of Catholics who embraced the modernising tide [=secularisation] sparked in the 1960s by Vatican II are increasingly giving way to religious conservatives [he means: people who love the Church] who believe [he means: who understand] the church has been twisted by change, with the promise of eternal salvation replaced by guitar Masses, parish-food and casual indifference to church doctrine.”
• “The shift, moulded by plummeting church attendance, increasingly traditional [=Catholic] priests and growing numbers of young Catholics searching for more orthodoxy, has reshaped parishes across the country, leaving them sometimes at odds with Francis and much of the [ex]-Catholic world.”
• “They often stand out in the pews, with the men in ties and the women sometimes with the lace head coverings that all but disappeared from American churches more than 50 years ago. Often, at least a couple families will arrive with four, five or even more children, signaling their adherence to the church’s ban on contraception, which most American [Ex-]Catholics have long casually ignored.”
• “They attend confession regularly and adhere strictly to church teachings. Many yearn for Masses that echo with medieval [=Catholic] traditions – more Latin, more incense more Gregorian chants.”
• “You can find this new [he means: Catholic] vision of Catholic America at Latin Masses in Milwaukee, the pews crowded with worshippers even at noon on a weekday.”
