The questioner pointed out that if the cardinal rule of firearm safety--treat every weapon as if it is loaded and ready to fire-- was observed, there would be no need for those extras.<br /><br />I agreed with her, but pointed out that we are fallible humans and having a system with no safeguards is asking for trouble. It is still possible to kill someone accidentally with a fully equipped rifle, but is less likely. It is possible to have a folk, EF Mass, but is much less likely.Paul M.

A few months back I posted from the Elvis' Movie, with Mary Tyler Moore, "A Change of Habit." In it an EF Mass is celebrated with Folk Music and in a very odd way. It is possible even with that Mass. What is needed in a recovery of the Sacred which means a High Christology for the OF Mass. I've been to plenty of OF Mass that are on par with the EF Mass in reverence, but there are too many options for priests that thus "intrinsically" allow for it to be "dumbed" down and look casual and sloppy. That's the biggest problem and a dumbing down of the reverence of both clergy and laity due not to the form of the Mass but some of it accoutrements and rubrics.Fr. Allan J.

While the OF CAN be focused on Christ, the EF IS focused on Christ. That is the difference and that is why the EF is a clearly superior Mass.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-89327037016393765292011-09-30T21:15:46.631-04:002011-09-30T21:15:46.631-04:00Fr, you missed one question.

How did he feel about this travesty in the news?<br /><br />As a sort of answer Mexico is struggling openly with satanism and black magic with the gangs. This is a sure sign they have lost the hearts of the people that this would be a contest at all. <br /><br />rcgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-5371976469559368222011-09-30T19:39:58.669-04:002011-09-30T19:39:58.669-04:00What he did was pretty much a sacrilege, but I con...What he did was pretty much a sacrilege, but I consider much of the "experimental liturgy" to be the same.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.com
