Screwtape’s
Assessment of World Youth Day Dr. John Zmirak’s I enjoyed the
following:
We have already succeeded marvelously–thanks
to our ever-industrious Liturgical Division–in draining the Enemy’s rituals as
typically performed of mystery, awe, reverence, and all those things which come
to it “naturally.” Deprived of gravitas, the Enemy’s minions, after a few
decades of bumbling, have made the best of a bad job, and tried to infuse the
banal rites with which we left them with levity, energy, and enthusiasm.
