This link explains how Focolare and Father Silvano say we must adopt a "new type of behavior" which fits our new modern collective consciousness. http://www.focolare.ie/General/BeingOneArchives/1992/Number01/04Silvano.htm
Father Cola (RIP)>>>>>>.....The considerations we will make may sound like a criticism of the past. However, they should not be regarded as negative. Obviously with time a new consciousness emerges and with it a new type of behaviour which automatically seems to deprecate former ways. My intention in this article is not to criticize the past. All that was done in the past was perhaps the best for those times, for those people, in that situation and for the collective consciousness of that historic moment. At present the collective consciousness of humanity seems to have matured, resulting in a new step forward. This requires a change in the way we read the Gospel .....
Focolare views traditional practices as a necessary crutch for rigid, old-fashioned people who aren't ready for the coming change....
......we preserve what is still useful to assist those who are unable to change their own ways of thinking and consequently unable to change their way of acting. At the same time we should allow for the possibility of something new, even if small, which is more adapted to the maturity of today's collective human consciousness.....
The late Father Silvano has a South Texas connection.....

Sisters and brothers, as the Pope prepares for another Assissi prayer meeting, I think it is important for us to understand the Focolare. They were the spiritual architects for the first two meetings.

Thursday's July 7 Cristiada showing was '1st Director's Cut'
from Director Wright's facebook page......
Cristiada [DIRECTOR DEAN WRIGHT] What a great audience we had! It was a thrill for you all to see the movie at this stage. This was my official first "Director's Cut". We're making just a few changes based on the great comments we got - trimming the running time - then it's out to the world. Thanks for coming and being a part of the creative process!!......

Where's my Corpus Christi Procession post?
Sisters and Brothers!
I was asked by a friend of Bishop Mulvey to please take the post down. This friend is quite certain the Bishop did not intentionally slight our Celebration and that it has all been an unhappy coincidence. Yes, I know, others have copied my post in its entirety, therefore it will live on in cyberdom. I can't control that....
Plus....my carping has served to stoke the fires of an unrelated controversy. A controversy I am thankfully ignorant of. I don't know if those fires need to be stoked, --I am assuming they should not be [or at least it's not my place to play of role of Mrs. O'leary's cow!]--hence my post, which caused my 'hit meter' to overheat, is gone. Now I shall get back to my regular followers: me, myself and I.
Please, everyone, before you 'go off ' on bishops and priests, do say a prayer for your target and do a 'google' on the sin of detraction!! I have been, rightly, called to task for detracting remarks I have made in the past. Try not to put yourself in the same position!
Thanks for reading this.

KC - Perhaps some months from now, you could send a letter to Bishop Mulvey and ask him to have a Corpus Christi procession. We know of very orthodox priests who cannot kneel during Mass due to knee or back problems. Similarly, a procession in the hot Texas sun could be difficult for some bishops and priests if they suffer from high blood pressure or other health conditions. You might ask Bishop Mulvey that if his schedule or other thing prohibits him from leading the procession next year, if priests of the diocese can lead it in his name. Perhaps he would lead a Holy Hour in the cathedral before it begins. Also, some dioceses may have trouble securing necessary permits. The best way to get more Corpus Christi processions is to first pray, then to write charitable letters to the bishop and let God take it from there.
