Well I think the whole idea is ridiculous, but this part caught my attention:

One of the proposed possible solutions would be silence. It would mean that after the Sanctus, at the moment in which normally during the Mass the priest would say the words: “Father, you are holy indeed…” the different celebrants would keep silent, everyone mentally repeating “his own” formula.

BACK TO THE FUTURE! In the mass of the ages, the priest prays the canon silently/in a low voice. So this would actually be an improvement over the novus ordo. :-)

I've been attending the mass of the ages for several years now, almost exclusively, and when I do have to attend the novus ordo the noisiness of it all is quite jarring to say the least.

I can't even begin to imagine the pain that Catholics experienced when the novus ordo was rammed down their throats.

They already can worship together. Any catholic is welcome to come into any catholic church and to fully participate. It is the bizarre and highly legalistic RCC that needs secret commissions to get approval for backdoor treaties, and to have them scrutinized by legions of celibate male legal scholars etc...to see if they can worship together.

Protestants believe it is a memorial meal, but Lutherans believe in the Real Presence of Jesus’ body and blood “in with and under the bread and wine” in the sacrement because in the words of institution, Jesus said”This IS my body” and “This IS my blood.”

And folks will blame this on Francis. When in reality this is the logical next step in the New False Religion of Ecumenism that was promulgated at Vatican II.

Anybody is welcome at a Catholic mass now. You just can’t take communion.

Catholics believe the sacrifice of Christ is of a perpetual nature. Protestants believe it was a one time deal, when Christ said "It is finished" He meant the blood atonement had been paid and it was over.

It also gets into the doctrine of once saved always saved. If you are washed by the Blood of Christ, nothing can change that, not even the devil himself. If the sacrifice is ongoing then it is not a stretch to conclude that salvation and grace can be lost.

Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t need a pope...especially a commie one.

That's fine with me. I'd skip Mass rather then attend one of these hootenannies.

It's a sin for a Catholic to worship alongside heretics.

Lutherans believe in the Real Presence of Jesus’ body and blood “in with and under the bread and wine” in the sacrement because in the words of institution, Jesus said”This IS my body” and “This IS my blood.”

Indeed, He did say that.

He also said, "Do this in remembrance of me."

He also said this, "For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

And the Apostle Paul wrote, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."

Hello, txrefugee. Just axxing. With regards to your post:

“but Lutherans believe in the Real Presence of Jesus’ body and blood “in with and under the bread and wine” in the sacrement because in the words of institution, Jesus said”This IS my body” and “This IS my blood.””.

Seems to suggest that Jesus is co-mingled with the species.

Would that not mean that Jesus said, “This is My body and bread” and “This is my blood and wine” ?

I’m not surprised.

Pride is a sin.

There something called "liturgical modesty". Some of what happens is supposed to be hidden from your full experience.

In the TLM, that's done by the priest facing liturgical East and reciting the anaphora sotto voce -- partly hidden from sight and completely hidden from the ear. In the Byzantine rite, that's done by the iconostasis -- the action is completely hidden from sight for much of the liturgy. In the Novus Ordo, liturgical modesty is mostly lost.

As a conservative Lutheran, no thank you.

And they are not talking to the sane Lutherans, but the branch that likes to ordain women and marry gays.

The best thing would be just to go with what the Bible says in plain words and leave every thing else, but wait; that would not be popular with either the Catholics nor the Protestants would it?
