*headdesk.* This kind of stuff makes me so sad, and wonder if the bishop will ever put the kibosh on this sort of new agey mumbo jumbo. Want to teach meditation? Fine. Try St. John of the Cross or other mystics, not Eastern spirituality!
I am not surprised. I spent one semester at St. Norbert College about 20 years ago, and it was apparent back then that the Norbertines had "lost their way".
Dear Badger:
We were talking about the AmChurch after Mass Saturday morning. Is that what this is?
Must be a mistake -- it lists a Solemn Novena to St. Joseph leading up to his feast day in March. That Catholic-y stuff doesn't really fit in with the rest of the schedule. Perhaps it's a Solemn Novena to St. Joseph of the Hindu Multiplicity of Self, rather than the most chaste spouse of Our Lady...
And yet the Diocese of Green Bay has had an approved TLM for decades (much longer than here in Madison), offered by the wonderful priests of the ICKSP for many years. I was impressed by the great TLM community there when I visited.
Anon, I'm not sure what you mean.
Michael, I also saw a Gregorian Chant workshop mixed in there. Perhaps one person trying to turn the whole operation around? Yes, Bp Zubik I believe was the one who brought in the ICKSP.
"Perhaps one person trying to turn the whole operation around?"
I pray that you're right -- and that he perseveres to see success! Sometimes all it takes is one person to convert a whole nation.
It's an interesting conundrum we have up here. Our Bishop, God bless him, is orthodox and committed to really creating Catholic identity. So was his predecessor, +Zubik. However, there is an "establishment" of overgrown hippies who push their new-agey, false-ecumenism, kumbaya spirituality all over the place- some women religious, many older catechetical leaders and diocesan personnel, many (not all) of the Norbertines. Of course we can't paint everyone with the same brush- there are members of all the categories listed above who are faithful the bishop and all the teachings of the Church.
At the same time, the new evangelization is starting to hum in full force. As you mentioned, the ICKSP is alive and thriving- attendance at the oratory is very strong and full of young families. At other oases of orthodoxy, namely parishes headed by faithful, usually-young(ish) priests and staffs, there are many more young faithful (and older faithful) who attend revernt novus ordo liturgies. (the Cathedral, for example, and several other parishes). However, it's not consistent across the diocese.
Pray for our Diocese, and for all bishops.
