Brick by Brick in Croatia.
On the blog of Toma Blizanac i brat Marko (click, to give their stats a nice spike!) I see that some young fellows thanked the Holy Father, during his visit, for Summorum Pontificum.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings….
Well, they aren’t quite that young, but surely the Holy Father noticed the signs were not being held by stooped, feeble, rosary-clutching octogenarians with a “nostalgic attachment” to the old Mass. These fellows clearly were not even born until way after V2.
How gracious of these young men to communicate their feelings to the Holy Father.
Father, thank you! How wonderful to see this on your blog! The authors of that blog seem to be really nice guys and deserving of the mention.
Pope looking at the sign; that is sweet!
@Joan A. regarding your comment: ” but surely the Holy Father noticed the signs were not being held by stooped, feeble, rosary-clutching octogenarians with a “nostalgic attachment” to the old Mass.”
Are refering to people like Mother Teresa or Teresa of Avila or John Paul II ? The known and unknown saints past and present who love the TLM regardless of age?
Oh, how cool! And the Holy Father spotted these intrepid fellows and their sign! That’s even cooler, in spite of the rain!
Superlike :o)
