An Honest Bark at the World of Traditional Catholicism

THOUGHT PROBLEM #1



Diogenes proposes the following problem for contemplation:


You are a young seminarian. You have not only had formal schooling, but you have attended a high school that gave you a world-class education. You sit now in class with some reservations because you have been warned about low standards at the institutiion.
You hear read aloud in class this sentence: "The practice of placing [the corner-stone] near the entrance at the front of the church is not in accord with the implications of the rubrics."
Immediately afterward, the instructor concludes, "so the corner-stone should be near the entrance."


What would your reaction be? Would you have a robust faith in the teacher (or the institution) to deliver more complex material?
