'I have just registered with this site. I am a lay woman, mother and grandmother, active in our church. I am finding the swing back pre-Vatican II tragic, and I cannot understand what seems to me to be hypocrisy from Rome with the announcements that the 50th Anniversary of Vatican II is to be celebrated, since at the moment it appears to be largely ignored. The current silks, satins, flummery and concentration on liturgical niceties and mannerisms seem so at odds with the life of Our Lord according to the Gospels that I am beginning to find my life as a Catholic is being drained of air and common sense.
It leaves me fighting to escape and retain my close contact with Jesus. Thank God for prayer and the promise that he will always be with us! We must work together: leaving all to a few men only hasn't worked very well so maybe we should see what all of us together could manage with God's help.' SB

Part 1 - Catholic Life Before the Second Vatican Council

DUBLIN, Ireland -- An assembly of the entire church in Ireland took one step closer Monday with an overflow meeting that saw more than 1,000 priests, religious and laypeople gather to discuss the future of the church.
Organizers say they expected about 200 participants to attend the event, which the Association of Catholic Priests sponsored. However, Dublin's Regency Hotel was packed to capacity, with many at the event forced to stand.
