IgnatiusofLoyola Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Move to Calgary. I will drive you to church myself. You are sneaky and don't fool me a bit. First you'd drive me to the Ordinariate Mass and get them to convert me to Catholicism. Then you'd say we needed switch off weeks between the Ordinariate parish and the Traditional Latin Mass parish. Because you know that at heart I am a gal who loves bells, whistles, and incense, I'd grow to love the Latin Mass, especially the High Mass. And, if you'd throw some excellent music in there (along with sung/chanted Masses) I'd have no chance against you unholy Romans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 QUICK! START A MODESTY THREAD! It IS that time of year! We really need Hasan if we want to muddy the waters. However, since I have had bad experiences with Evangelical Christians, I'd be more than willing to do my part to confuse things. Evangelical Christians don't know what to do with people like me, who aren't Catholic, but still want liturgy, music and those other heathen practices. As an Anglican I could (if I wanted) make things REALLY muddy, because Anglicans love liturgy, but behind the scenes are doing unspeakably sinful things with no guilt at all--just look at the Royal Family. Note: I can say mean things about the Anglicans because I am one. You Catholics can't. It's disrespectful. The principle is similar to the truism that you can say what you want about your own family, but if someone else insults your mother, you won't answer for the consequences. Even if you don't understand, be nice about the Anglicans anyway to humor me. I put up with a lot of stuff from likes of all of you (as is only right since this is a Catholic forum). I love you, but you do try my soul sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 The webinar was actually about social media and their impact on the Church. It was fascinating, actually. The researcher was an African media ecologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not The Philosopher Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If anything, it seems as though this news has turned us into polite liturgists instead of filthy troglodytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) If anything, it seems as though this news has turned us into polite liturgists instead of filthy troglodytes. I think the way to confound the academics is to throw off their research by unusual behaviors. Certainly politeness, especially about liturgical matters, is one behavior that at times has been in short supply lately, so being polite about liturgy should REALLY throw off the academics. I am as a guilty as the rest of less than edifying posts, although I normally get cranky over matters other than liturgy. If I acted like the filthy troglodyte I am, I would be banned from Phatmass. Besides, I do all my posting on Phatmass lying on the couch, typing on my laptop with my cat lying on my stomach. My cat is dictating all my posts to me. She is an English breed called a Devon Rex, so all "my" posts are actually the views of a British feline. (It strangely fits, doesn't it?) For all Phatmass knows, I am a Bahai lumberjack, living in Nova Scotia. Edited June 26, 2015 by IgnatiusofLoyola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaatee Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That reminds me, Iggy, there is a parish in my city that was formerly traditional Anglican and which converted to Catholicism recently. I bet you would appreciate it. It remains very distinctly English. You can tell that it was originally Anglican. There are two, possibly three priests giving communion. No one can count the number of Catholics who have left RC to become Anglicans (Episcopalians) or something else. In my Unitarian Church we have buckets of 'em.

Nihil Obstat Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 You can tell that it was originally Anglican. There are two, possibly three priests giving communion. For the time at my parish when we had two priests from the Fraternity, if both were available they would both distribute Communion during the larger Sunday Masses. Nothing unusual about that. Or one priest and one deacon. Nothing unusual there. What would be unusual would be if someone besides a priest or a deacon distributed. That would not fly. In that picture there are two priests, one of whom is vested as deacon. I am not sure who the man on the right is, but he would be serving as subdeacon. And they are not giving Communion, they are distributing candles. Otherwise you would see ciboria and patens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, in Anglican churches on their roster and in their services, there are a lot of priests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parish I have been referring to has two priests and a deacon. We had two priests up until yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
