All I can say is.........I like it.

I'm tired of folk music during mass, especially after communion. To me, that is one of the most important parts of the mass, and I can never concentrate because of all the singing. However, if it was something like Gregorian Chant, that is another story.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I love the Latin language!

[onyx]

Quite amazing, huh?
Remember the other day and I asked you for words in Latin?
Well, I got out my HS Latin textbooks and the doc is my instructor. You "know" I'll get an A regardless, but I am sincerely studying. :)

Vatican II bungled the liturgical reform, states the Rev. john McCloskey, a Catholic priest with the Faith and Reason Institute in Chicago.

When I get married, the service will be in Latin... just need to find the good, Catholic girl of my dreams.

Where are you? I'm getting "old" (39).

Since presiding at the first funeral Mass for John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict, has shown to the world the luxuriant beauty of the old mass

Did I miss something?

How sad. All this teaching of Latin, and all of it an obsession over the pagan "Classics", rather than teaching the actually useful Ecclesiastical Latin of Sts. Bede, Gregory, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, and de Liguori.

It would be REALLY cool if the Church adopted Aramaic instead of the language of the original Evil Empire. ;-)

For while Cesar's De Bellum Gallicum clearly does not benefit from copyright protection,,,

I think he means Caesar's De Bello Gallico. And if the original is free of copyright, it may freely be translated into any other language.

I always thought referring to Latin as a dead language was really stupid. That it can no longer change, doesn't mean it's dead, for crying out loud. How can the language of law and medicine ever be dead?

Oh, I thought perhaps the Pope was bringing back the lambada!

Most of you folks are Catholic, right? Anybody know what's wrong with his thumb? From the picture on Newsweek, it looks deformed. Does he have heart disease or something? Thanks

I have a great fondness for Gregorian chants. They're soooooo soothing.
