As you may know, I no longer have the privilege of attending the Traditional Latin Mass every Sunday, or the privilege of listening to the faith and morals sermons that are a part of it.
This past Sunday, the homily I heard blessed diversity, and the priest told us we should be thankful for diversity. Maybe I just didn't quite get his meaning. After all, the images I conjured up in my mind of diversity screamed acceptance of false religions, acceptance of homosexuality and its lifestyle, and acceptance of false doctrines like the ordination of womenpriests. He even ended the Mass by jokingly calling himself Sister___.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not what the politically correct call a homophobe. I believe that homosexuals and single people are bound together by the Church's declaration that they should live a chaste life. No sex outside of marriage. That seems like a pretty straightforward expectation for both groups.
Womynpriests in their polyester pantsuits will never, no matter how much they want it, be able to consecrate a host. I can't even understand why these womyn haven't gone away yet. Why are people still listening to them? Is it in the name of Diversity?
If I am to be thankful for diversity, I would think it means the blessing of having the Catholic faith spread to the four corners of the earth, so that the evangelization of all the nations, with people of every race and colour, will hear the Word of God and be saved. It means being thankful for so many peoples from around the world building up one nation under God. It means loving one another despite our differences, but it does not mean undermining our faith so as not to offend a false religion. After all, error has no rights - and this is according to none other than Saint Augustine.
I know. Colour me trad.

Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Consecrated Hands
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

Jesus said, that the truth would be spread to all nations and then the end will come. the Word of God has been spread to the whole world. people of all nations, world wide have heard the Good News. this truth is taught by our faith. we are Christians of many colors and we all love Jesus Christ.
If it's various people (nationalities, colors, ages, etc.) embracing the One Faith, I'm all for it, but if it's all these people embracing whatever the heck they feel like, what's the point? I've been to lib-town. I'm sticking with tradition now. :)
Good grief. Sister? Was that at Christ the Servant or St. Mary's, I wonder if he does different homilies at each church. Time for a trad revolution in Cranbrook!
I also went to the 'regular 'Mass this Sunday, and heard a Homily that, for me, had nothing to do with the Readings nor the Gospel. Small talk at the beginning and the end. When we started going to the Latin Mass, even though I remember it as a kid, it seemed so different and difficult after all these years away. Now, though, the onus has shifted the other way, and the Novus Ordo has become the Mass that leaves me wondering. Color me trad also. Great post. k
Kam, I miss the great sermons from my FSSP parish! Each one was intended to help us to heaven. There was no halfway measure when it came to delivering what we needed to hear. You are blessed to be able to attend a TLM.
When I think of diversity, I think of peoples of all faiths getting along and accepting the fact that we all worship the same God, I think of people of all races and cultures being kind to one another and learning from each other in an effort to understand and not judge. I don't think of women priests or homosexual marriage. I don't think that diversity means disobedience. I think that priest you speak of needs a dictionary.
