I'm glad to see the news that Pope Benedict is following up on the Synod on the Eucharist by stopping some questionable practices. He's directed the "Neo-catechumenal communities" to put a stop to most of their liturgical deviations. (Maybe instead of "neo-" that should be "quasi-" or "pseudo-".)
(Hat tip to Dom.)
That reminds me of this mug: http://www.cafepress.com/ratzfanclub.3559924
I don't think it keeps the nonsense at bay, it just forces it underground.
For our renewal program, we broke into "small Christian communities" which I declined to participate in because it seemed to me they were "small Christian cliques".

Well, I'm glad to finally see a crack down on those practices!
Is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by how Sandro Magister keeps referring to "pope Joseph Ratzinger"? It almost seems disrespectful to keep using his baptismal name (though I'm probably just reacting that way because I've heard sedevacantists use the baptismal names of popes they don't fancy).
In Jesu et Maria,
Rosemarie,
No need to worry. It's a typical Italian usage. Many Italians refer to Popes by their last names, and did so before Vatican II as well as after. I think you can absolve Sandro Magister of sedevacantism. :)

Thanks, Father. It's good to know that! :-)
