Kind of like a Heinz 57 or Baskin and Robbin's 31 flavors, huh?
Are you drunk?
There have been multiple rites in the Catholic Church for a thousand years.
Huh?? Frankly, I don't understand your attempt at humor, much less care. It is just as pointless as your purported arguments to support your attendance at SSPX chapels.
I am calling it quits for tonight. Tomorrow we (Father and a group of us) will be working after the Divine Liturgy, baking spinach pies, meat pies and kibbee, for this week's Food Festival. We are doing whatever needs to be done to raise money to renovate the old church.
I work full time during the week, raise a child, care for two dogs and a cat, clean the house, cook the meals, cart out the garbage, mow the lawn, dust, vaccuum, and attend to all of the other family chores commensurate with daily life. My weekends belong to my parish community, helping them grow and expand. How unfortunate that you lack the harmony of fidelity to the Holy Father. It is truly sad to meet so many 'traditionalists' who are filled with venom and animosity towards anyone who does not share their views. From the very first time I attended the Maronite liturgy, my life has been imbued with that tremendous sense of Christ's peace. Nothing you say, will ever shake it.
