VeniteAdoremus Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 [quote name='Resurrexi' post='1903512' date='Jun 28 2009, 05:41 PM']I do think that Latin, beautiful vestments, and incense are very pleasing to God because all beautiful things glorify God, their maker.[/quote] All things glorify God, their maker, period. Undoubtedly God takes much pleasure in sea slugs being the best sea slugs they can be. Beauty is a human concept, and a matter of taste. Personally I think many fiddlebacks are... well... ghastly. They draw my attention away from the important stuff if I let them (I try not to). I think simple silk chasubles in a tasteful shade of the liturgical colour are the utmost in beauty. But that's me. The EF and the OF, when celebrated well*, are [i]equal[/i] in grace and glory. The only thing under our influence is how we receive that. *that disclaimer is getting tiresome.

VeniteAdoremus Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Here I am taking 20 minutes to formulate it well and Ora steals my arguments! I'm going back to revising for my quantum physics exam. He won't follow me there, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 yeah.. this thread hasn't turned into a "which Mass is better thread" at all. Good job, Rexi!!! It is precisely this division-sowing that I find so prevalent among many our traditional brethen, that will keep the OF from truly becoming the very epitome of beauty its advocates profess. If what is above is the FRUIT of the EF, it may cause pause for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's best for people who get lost in the lengthy EF formulations to go to the OF. Lookies, everybody happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Soon many of the "lengthy formulations" present in the literal translations of the EF found in various hand-missals will be present in the approved English translation of the OF.
