Entry: The Broken Compass Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_broken_compass#11587 Post contents: Mr. Wheeler: No, it is not quite that "simple." Most of the more recently ordained priests and seminarians in my Northern Ohio diocese are entirely orthodox and the exact opposite of "effiminate". I have met many of them and can't help but think that they will be exerting greater influence over the direction of the Church in the very near future. From all I have heard, this is happening in many other parts of the country as well. Great article, Tom. Your point about what the Church built in America prior to the cultural revolution of the sixities in spot-on. Just at the point when Catholics were poised to have a perhaps decisive impact for the better on American society, we threw it all away. There are signs that at least some of us are trying to rediscover what we lost. Sent at: 2008 10 12
