It might be that some ancient practices died out for a reason.

The building would be a dream for many perennial (traditionalist) Catholics. The service was conducted by a group of several female clergy. The presider had a nice looking large, round, loaf with a spongy interior and extra crispy crust that was held aloft and broken dramatically during their eucharistic sequence. As everyone began to stand and process for communion my wife looked at me with terror in her eyes and asked what should we do?? She was thinking we should flee since we would clearly be outed as rude arrogant papists. Of course nothing was said.<br /><br />FWIW, that Presbyterian congregation has a spectacular choir known for the high quality performance of a demanding classical repertoire. A friend of mine, whose daughter was married during that ceremony, is a tenor in that choir and also very respectful of Catholicism. I think that stems from his respect for our schola gained from the public performances that he has attended.rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-14413180886192570662019-01-19T10:20:16.521-05:002019-01-19T10:20:16.521-05:00And afraid.
