What is this? I'm actually a big fan of horror movies myself but they have no place at a place designed for worship. MCGA or Make Church Great Again. OhPleaseJustQuit might possibly be interested in this.

Not a clue. Never heard of it.

No horror movie having anything to do with a church could be any more horrific than what my church is going through right now.

Really what's that? Or is it too personal?
 
I don't know what they call it. The Traditional Catholics of whom I am one most often call it Modernism or Novus Ordo.
Whether I attend an English Mass or a Latin Mass does not tear me apart and therefore cannot tear the Church apart. A pope taking a political position on anything does not tear the Church apart, not if he is following Christ, the Bible, the Catholic catechism. The Church would be torn apart if there arose different beliefs in the True Presence, the Resurrection, the virgin birth, the forgiveness of sin, Jesus laying down his life for the forgiveness of sins. Otherwise all we are doing is posturing, which is what the Catholic and Orthodox churches have been doing for centuries. Enough is enough. It's like a married couple drawing a line across the living room floor and saying one is his side the other is her side. It's still the same room, the line is more or less imaginary.
 
Precisely...what teaching are you thinking tore the Church in half?
It has to be the Pope allowing the flock to believe in Darwinian evolution.

It was an attempt at damage control as more and more of the flock couldn't rationalize the supernatural events portrayed in the bibles, as literally true.

Now there are two camps that are divided by 'literal' belief in the bibles, and the more rational Christians who accept their bibles as symbolic at best.

The two sides can never find common ground and so it's likely the CC will split once again.

The enlightenment to believing in evolution came too soon! The CC should have stayed with the bibles and took some lumps with some of the flock walking away.

I understand your post.

I have to travel 45 miles to attend a Latin Mass, which is only celebrated once a week.

My priest is a very holy man and does his best to keep the NO Mass solemn and dignified, but is reluctant to speak his true feelings for fear of losing his ministry.

In his advancing age, he becomes less and less able to celebrate the mass daily, which means everything to the very faithful in our tiny parish. The nearest parish that celebrates a semi-regular Mass is administered by a prancing, giggling man who cannot concentrate on his parish when he is deployed in the National Guard for six months at a time. The next nearest parish is 25 miles away. The very faithful in my church are elderly and have trouble driving in our winter weather. Many of them were married in our church, one couple having recently celebrated their 70th anniversary.

How long will it be before the belief in the Real Presence dwindles to 1%? Or less?

The question I ask myself every day.

The line is very real to us.

But thanks for your input.

It's not difficult to find a Mass said in Latin.
.

There is only one in our Diocese, which is half of the State of South Dakota.

Is it acceptable for the church to fully serve only those faithful who live in densely populated Dioceses?

Besides, wasn't the topic of this thread actually supposed to be a movie?

Yes and that horror movies belong at the movie theater and not at church but if it's still relating to evil going on at church I don't think that it's too far off topic. :)
 
This is not as much about a movie in the churches as it's about the divisions forming in their flocks as they are coming to accept less and less of the bible's lies.

Thousands upon thousands are just not willing to accept the 'symbolic' excuse!

Exactly.

But there are Christian apologists in our midst with special buttons to push! Stay sweet, be a literal believer! Saying the bible is 'symbolic' and not 'literally' true is Satanic!

There are at least four large Catholic parishes within fifteen minutes of me, and probably at least four more within thirty minutes, one of which has a weekly Latin Mass. All these parishes are run by holy men, daily Mass where at least forty people show up daily at each Mass--some are held twice each day. The True Presence is firmly held, and most of these churches have open adoration in a small chapel when the church is closed.

It did seem, after Covid, attendance at Mass had fallen once we were permitted to gather on Sundays again. But as time has gone on, at least in our area, more and more have been returning to Mass. Attendance is probably still lower than what it was prior to Covid.

There are still very good Catholic priests and bishops.

Far too many Catholics just can't let go of their petty differences.
But also, the acceptance of Darwinian evolution by the Pope can never be acceptable to the majority and so they will need to grieve and gnash their teeth in private. Hence the turmoil that afflicts Ding!

'Very good' is subjective. Sexual abuses by Catholic priests are still not widely accepted as being morally correct by society outside the church..
