Some Catholics simply refuse to see the bright side of anything. Over
1000 people came to the Rite Election at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception this Sunday (last year my husband was one of them) in order to celebrate the first rite which will lead to baptism or confirmation for the catechumens and candidates at Easter. This is a happy occasion but the people on one forum which I will not name couldn't say one nice thing. They said these dear people weren't really going to be Catholic because most probably attend the Novus Ordo Mass. For goodness sake...........
