I think we can safely credit Fr. Allan McDonald of St. Joseph’s in Macon, GA, with the best quote of the day. When speaking of the 20-30% of Catholics who attend Mass regularly today, he asks:

Do they like the spiked kool-aide of contemporary sounds that jar the spirit rather than lift it to God in a meditative, contemplative way? Just wondering?

Father McDonald reports on his blog, Southern Orders, on the events of the final day of the Winter Intensive. Thank you, Father, for your hospitality and that of all of your staff at St. Joseph’s!
