Anthony Ruff"},"content":{"rendered":"

I have recently visited the “Pray Tell” blog, which seems to be mostly run by a Benedictine priest, Fr. Anthony Ruff from St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. Yes my friends, the home of liturgical demolition. There are many other contributors to the blog, but I will be focusing on some of the statements made by Fr. Ruff. The blog claims the following, “a blog that gives practical wisdom about prayer, sacraments, and the community of the faithful \u2013 in short, worship. Created especially for pastors, liturgists, musicians, and scholars…” The blog in my opinion however, is a perfect illustration of everything that has gone wrong in the Church for the last 40 years. It espouses liberal slants on just about everything concerning Catholicism. I went on the blog and left a few comments, but most of them were deleted within hours of posting them because of my engaging opposition to Fr. Ruff’s liberal opinions on matters such as liturgy, theology and Thomism.<\/p>\n
