The new ways that hide the beautiful old ways

Somewhat in keeping with my traditionalist bent, I wanted to offer some links from my wonderful friend Amanda. They are the older versions of the Baptism, here and here. Little did I know that the modern changes within the Church were greater and more drastic than the tambourine and the drum sets. It makes me recall the statement of a liberal Catholic during the days I worked at NCEA who pointedly asked "why these young people long for a Church they never lived in" to which he received no answer. Even though I worked in the Secondary Schools (high schools) department, the topic of choice was the Franciscan University of Steubenville, and why it was growing and attracting so many young people. They could not understand the fascination with the restoration of the old Church. These were people intent on changing the Church, and modifying it to fit their ideological preferences.
