Father, regarding your reference to the article over at Chant Cafe, Weigel is right to say we have recently emerged from a Protestant Counter Reformation phase. But would it were that simple.
An alternative, or additional, understanding is that since Vatican II we have also been afflicted by a Neo-modernist Reformation, hence the shambles in the Western and wider Church and the Neo-modernist Counter Reformation has only recently started i.e., Pope Benedict’s Dec 05 speech, confirmed in May 09.
If this is so, we have at least another circa 50 years and perhaps 4/5 Popes to go before the Barque can set course again.
Full, conscious and actual participation does not mean people clamouring to take part in the performance of the rites, rather, they are fully to participate in the Paschal Mystery they signify.

People take to the blogosphere because no one is listening; eventually they vote with their feet.
