[Kolokotronis]

"Those Latin masses (or English in the case of the Anglican Use of the Roman Rite) were marriages of heaven and earth where the Bridegroom swept me away as His own and I received Him with joy and trembling and the leaping of my heart, aching to be truly with Him at all times and in all places and for ever, where Cherubim and Seraphim cry Alleluia and the Most Pure and Holy Mother of my Lord and God welcomes me as her daughter with her tangible embrace."

Not an "obligation" to go there, is it Maeve?

[Maeve]

"Obligation" has always struck me as such a strange word with reference to the Sunday Liturgy because it is both our duty and our joy. But the Latin NO rituals you described - it seems to me - would hardly fulfill any obligation to God. Rather the Robot from Lost In Space should show up saying, "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!"
