“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

Why do none of these links work?
Why can’t you ask nicely? o{];¬)
Thanks for the links. I think I only listened to part of the discussion of “Conditor alme siderum” the first time around. I was glad to listen to the whole thing this time. The next time I direct a choir in the Latin version of the hymn, I will be sure to tell them what they’re really singing when they pronounce “Conditor” incorrectly (and they will)! We will be singing it Vespers tonight, but we will be singing in English; it is old-school Vespers, but given our particular group, it just makes sense to do it in English.
