[Fides_et_Ratio]

my first letter to him was FILLED with quotes from many documents, etc. and then I was informed that I ought not write like I'm teaching him his job and was told that "he knows, he just chooses not to follow".

anyhow, I'm getting another opinion about it tomorrow (hopefully) from another priest--not on the letter, just on the situation in general.

[quote]Your Eminence,

I am writing to you as a last resort in an effort to solve the liturgical situation at my parish, Saint *******'s in the Diocese of Columbus, [color=red]Ohio[/color].[/quote]you should include the state that the diocese is in.


[quote]The associate pastor, Father T***** B****** consistently ad-libs [color=red]or changes the wording of[/color] the prayers and propers all throughout the Liturgy[color=red]. This Includes the[/color] Eucharistic Prayer, which is very rarely one of the four Eucharistic Prayers[color=red]. Usually, it is[/color] one of the Children’s one[color=red]s[/color] at non-specified Children’s Masses with little or no children present or one of the Eucharistic Prayers for “Various Needs and Occasions”[color=red]. He also[/color] changes the order of the Mass, [color=red]gives[/color] questionable homilies,  [color=red]and[/color] "snacks" on the Eucharist after the distribution of Communion[color=red]. My understand is that he is to[/color] offer those pieces of the host broken off during the Fraction rite, but instead [color=red]he[/color] saves them and consumes them and any other hosts not perfectly round after distributing communion[color=red]. Finally, he[/color] does not reverence the altar at the beginning nor conclusion of the Mass, and has many other liturgical innovations.[/quote]i provided for you here a possible way to write this is paragraph form, instead of using a list.


[quote]I have spoken with Father B****** himself to no avail, written him a letter (a copy of which was sent to the pastor by myself), spoken with my pastor, exchanged several e-mails with my pastor over this situation, and written the bishop of my diocese. My response from the bishop arrived over four months ago, yet nothing has changed. I have included copies of all written exchanges for your convenience.

As I have asked both pastors and my bishop, should I be at fault in my understanding of any of these matters I pray and hope that you too will not hesitate to correct me as it is my greatest and most sincere hope to only better understand the Liturgy of the Church.[/quote]in this last paragraph, just say "i pray" instead of "i pray and hope" b/c you go on to use the word "hope" again and you want to avoid this repitition.

i hope that helps

pax christi,
