Not, however, that the New Mass is tripe in the popular sense of the word: but that, as in my first comment, tripe, while a staple which nourishes, is an alternative to the sort of food in which the senses can delight. <BR/><BR/>Tripe is the sort of food which commissars delight in issuing to the proleteriat, thinking that they enjoy it and that it therefore must become standard for all true proleterians. The poor old plebs would delight in red meat but aren't given the chance to try it and enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>Now, there's a thought: the Commissars of Vatican II ...<BR/><BR/>Keep posting, Tribune of the People!Ttonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185875893212146794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-48888952790002032922007-09-01T20:18:00.000+01:002007-09-01T20:18:00.000+01:00I don't think anyone doubts the validity of the ne...I don't think anyone doubts the validity of the new Mass just whether it is better than the old.<BR/><BR/>And anyone who knows both rites well can be in no doubt that the old is vastly better.<BR/><BR/>Just as the poor are rich and the rich, often poor, spiritually, we know that the Catholic tripe-eaters of Manchester went exclusively to the old rite and were spiritually enriched!<BR/><BR/>Conversely, nowadays, when they are no longer forced to eat tripe, they want the spiritually impoverished new rite.<BR/><BR/>Or are you, perhaps, saying that the new rite is tripe?Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-13958635159822862542007-08-30T21:04:00.000+01:002007-08-30T21:04:00.000+01:00Errrr, just in case nobody else gets it, there is ...Errrr, just in case nobody else gets it, there is an analogy between tripe vs wholesome, tasty, norishing food, and the Ordinary vs the Extraordinary Rite.<BR/><BR/>The New Mass is as valid as the Old.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you had better not publish this!Ttonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185875893212146794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-68443298408627119492007-08-30T14:47:00.000+01:002007-08-30T14:47:00.000+01:00An impressive homage to tripe.I stand corrected!An impressive homage to tripe.<BR/><BR/>I stand corrected!Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-67226771736203835522007-08-27T20:12:00.000+01:002007-08-27T20:12:00.000+01:00You are harsh about tripe.Tripe is what is given t...You are harsh about tripe.<BR/><BR/>Tripe is what is given to poor people to ensure that they have the minimum amount of nutrition to get them through the day while their betters feast off the choicer parts of the animal.<BR/><BR/>Tripe is nobody's choice but is (or at least was, when I was growing up) a regular necessity.<BR/><BR/>Tripe can be dressed (as it is in Spain: callos a la sevillana) in such a way as almost to disguise that it is tripe.<BR/><BR/>Tripe is still a gift from God to Man, as it come from his creatures, and provides them with the sustenance they need to eat.<BR/><BR/>Tripe reminds us in the midst of poverty that there is still beauty and excellence.<BR/><BR/>Tripe can become sufficiently sustaining that people who are exposed to nothing better will choose to extol it: there were UTP Tripe shops in the centre of Manchester when I was growing up.<BR/><BR/>Tripe snobs will discuss the different forms of tripe and rate them according to the manner in which they can be presented. <BR/><BR/>Tripe is still tripe even when it becomes the filling for sausages and beefburgers and pretends to replace real meat.<BR/><BR/>Tripe can be a useful halfway house in introducing Vegans and such to real food.<BR/><BR/>Tripe eaters are loved by Our Lord who wishes them to partake in his heavenly banquet.<BR/><BR/>Tripe is a much more useful and widely applicable metaphor than you thought when you wrote this post.
