Of course, I also find myself hoping we'll have the Kyrie in Greek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OraProMe Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 This sounds horrible, but I can't wait till the 60 year old liberal women on the parish council and my Vatican II loving priest reach the age where they physically can't do anything around the parish. I'm looking forward to getting a newly ordained priest and watching the parish council fill with young, fresh, orthodox blood. Once that happens I'll stop travelling half an hour each Sunday to my Cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OraProMe Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Also, adding on to what Resurexxi said, I love it when the priest uses the confiteor and the Roman Canon for the Mass. It'd be great if the Vatican got rid off all these options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OraProMe Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You know what I mean. Hermeneutic of rupture priest, works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You might do well not to fall into hermeneutic of rupture in regards to the interpretation of Dignitatis Humanae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an abuse to use Extraordinary Ministers every Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hardly get through one song before we are done. It's like talking to the wall though to change it. Hopefully our new Basilian priests coming in will put things right.

Groo the Wanderer Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Our pastoral council serves to advise the pastor and to help him to implement what he wants done. He and his two associates always attend meetings. The two deacons attend when they are able. The council never seeks to impose their will on Father and recognizes that all ministries in the parish draw their legitimacy from him. As for the seven weekend and the daily morning Masses, we used to have a Director of Liturgy and Music on the parish staff that coordinated everything. When she retired, nobody including the pastor realized just how much she actually did. As such, our pastor decided for now to have lay volunteers handle the various aspects of the liturgy. Not a liturgy council, since we all rarely meet at once. A different volunteer heads up and coordinates for Father: music and choirs, lectors (me woohoo), alter servers, EMHCs, ushers, and church decorations (altar cloths, liturgical colors, flowers, etc). Now double all that since we have English and Spanish Masses. There is a finance council, but nobody seems to know what they do. All we know is the parish runs in the black every year. There is the paid staff that meets every week which consists of the three priests, the DRE, the CYM, the administrator, the data entry clerk (with 5000+ familes we need one just to keep all the forms up to date in the computer), the maintenance supervisor, and whomever is invited from other groups. As far as I am concerned, parish councils exist solely to assist the pastor in his ministry in the parish. Once they deviate and puff themselves up with pride thinking they have any power of their own, they should be disbanded. They are not the shepherds, the pastor is. Werd.
