Get your popcorn for this one: Resident cringeologists and returning Rich Dawn participants @CoachKyleDean, Dennis G, Brady Webb, and Francis Boeck provide a working definition for "cringe" and apply it to a wide variety of concerning behaviors one may encounter within Catholic communities. Kyle Dean reflects on Traditional Latin Mass culture, Dennis G represents Eastern Catholicism, Brady Webb provides Chestertonian and Catechetical insights, and Francis Boeck brings his parish ministry and Journalistic chops to cross-examine his brothers in Christ. We hope you gain value from this light-hearted endeavor into being real while always seeking charitable solutions for these various issues.

"The official publication of the Sacred Congregation for the Sacrament sand Divine Worship, Notitiae (11 [1975] 226), states the practice “must be repudiated . . . it is a liturgical gesture introduced spontaneously but on a personal initiative; it is not in the rubrics.” And anything not in the rubrics is unlawful, again because “no other person . . . may add . . . anything [to] the liturgy on his own authority” (ibid)."
