TR, Ho Hum, I fail to understand how your emotional outbursts are relevant to the topic of the article. Neither the pope nor the author are suggesting you use Latin in your puja, or that you abandon your faith in a world view "based (solely) on naturalism, empirical evidence, and rational logic." He is worried about the liberalisation of some liturgical restrictions, but that has no effect on non-Catholics. (I wonder whether the author will be equally worried if/when the pope - perhaps the next one - liberalises some moral restrictions related to sex.)

I wish the Catholic Church would return to the Latin mass. It's my sense that when the Latin Mass went so followed the classical education.

TR & Ho Hum

TR...Just what is the "scientific world view"? Is it similar to an "evolutionary world view", especially as a senior academic of UQ in the department of biology (I think) on ABC radio said that there is not one theory of evolution, but hundreds". Is there one scientific world view, or are there many? And, are there no religious scientists (of the empirical variety)? What is truth? Perhaps what is true for you is not true for others. What field of "modern science" are you referring?

Ho Hum...just what "church" do you belong to? Your final ignorant comments reveal the infantile nature of your argument. Nice though to try and equate a puja with the Mass.....reveals you regard the Mass as somewhat sacred even though your rather infantile comments reveal otherwise.
