Don Joaquín Manuel Serrano Vila, a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Oviedo who is also involved in the formation of seminarians, commented on the Roman Rite Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Christianity to Covadonga.
"I am writing these lines after having experienced the pilgrimage from the outside," he wrote on SanFelixDeLugones.blogspot.com (10 August).
Don Serrano has no experience of the Roman rite and only took part in the Archbishop's blessing of the pilgrims and the Te Deum in Covadonga.
Through his involvement in the formation of seminarians, he has noticed how much the new generations have a "very special sensitivity" to Catholicism.
He notes that this phenomenon has become unstoppable in many countries.
For some advocates of the "spirit of Vatican II", the Catholic resurgence is "worrying, regrettable and embarrassing". "Is this all that the champions of freedom and charismatic progressivism have to say and contribute today?" - asks the priest.
He understands that the nostalgics of the "spirit of Vatican II" are losing sleep over the Covadonga pilgrimage, because it is disturbing to see that what they have supported in life is becoming irrevocably extinct, like the dinosaurs.
Don Serrano points out the fatal contradiction in the pontificate of Francis, who wants to "forbid" the Roman rite, while at the same time allowing the celebration of the Eucharist in swimming costumes, with water pistols, or approving African liturgies.
He notices that the "progressive" clergy who are still alive have become secularised, repeating their boring and petrified discourse in their little battles like bad digestion.
At the same time, he was struck by the fact that the pilgrimage to Our Lady was not invented by priests, but by the laity.
There is still a deaf resistance to the revival of Catholicism, so much so that the priest of the Covadonga pilgrimage had to celebrate Mass in a meadow in Sorribas (Piloña).
Don Serrano concluded with an imprecation: "May the Holy Spirit, who also speaks to us in mathematics, be free, because the numbers speak for themselves, and may we make the words of Francis come true: 'everyone, everyone, everyone'."
