Vice-Mayor of Phoenix Criticizes Bishop Olmsted for permitting Latin Mass

What we have here is another uninformed individual who has probably never read the documents of Vatican II and who, as it appears in the article, is more concerned about himself rather than the wishes and desires of the Church. Some excerpts:

...permitting or encouraging Latin masses is part of a misguided trend to go back in time to the romanticized church of the 1940's and 1950's. Today's Catholic Church is not the fictional movie church of Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman or Barry Fitzgerald. We don't speak Latin to each other. I greet people with "hello" and not "salve".

There was a reason that the Second Vatican Council called for services to be held in the vernacular.

Here is the first clue he is ignorant of "Sacrosanctum Concilium".

...Sadly, some in the church today would prefer to reverse many of the Vatican II reforms.

Conservative groups such as Opus Dei have infiltrated the clergy in many communities and are subtly wielding power to influence many of these changes. Such groups would be much happier if all priests wore cassocks and birettas and all nuns returned to wearing habits and living in convents, instead of actively participating in community affairs and in encouraging social justice.

This past year, we have seen a de-emphasis in the role of the laity in Mass services, with lesser roles for lectors and Eucharistic ministers and an emphasis on the roles of priests and deacons. Where is this all leading? Will the next papal bull require women to again wear hats in church?

What happened to the "spirit of Vatican II"? I dare say, most never knew what it was to begin with.
