Dr Carol Byrne wrote a long series of articles detailing the long term revolution which was incubated at places like Maria Laach monastery in the Eifel and at St John's Abbey in Minnesota. For once, it is the Benedictines rather than the Jesuits we can blame.

As a parent of two children under four years of age, I can attest to their need for those sacramental graces, and the receptivity of children to the sacraments.
