We disagree. But, that's fine. The Christian Church is a large family. There are bound to be differences of opinions. However, I think you are getting a bit pedantic and are missing the larger point. Or, maybe I just framed it the wrong way; especially citing the Clown Mass.
In any event, I am enjoying your posts and learning a lot from you.
