We got as far as introducing the Agnus Dei for about three weeks before a few people whined to the pastor about "that Latin stuff at Mass". They claimed they would go to another parish if we kept doing it. The pastor caved and told us to "put it on hold for now". <br /><br />My point is, those who feel strongly about the re-introduction of tradition to the liturgy need to be as vocal and insistent as those who oppose it. What happened at our parish was that probably fewer than 5 people spoke up and stopped a project that may well have been favored by a large number of parishioners. The fact is, they were singing the Agnus Dei very well, and enthusiatically at that! All it took to stop it was a few people whining to the pastor.Chironomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024533507945352862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-60236003131335408762010-01-28T15:33:27.664-05:002010-01-28T15:33:27.664-05:00It is indeed hard work Father, and I applaud you f...It is indeed hard work Father, and I applaud you for it, and pray for you daily in your toils.<br /><br />Let the Holy Spirit guide you, and take not counsel from your fears.<br /><br />Catholics need to be challenged.
