[Magdalen] Theological and Liturgical Tidbits - St. John's Abbey.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

OTOH, David, I think that Francis is trying to pry Vatican2 back into the 
life of the church as it was envisioned lo those many decades ago. The US RC 
church, in particular, has reinvented themselves in many places into a 21C 
version of the 1950s and continue to view this council that rocked the 
religious world, of all mainline denominations who called the RC home until 
post Reformation, a council for all the Church, not just the RC church.
