"I wonder if anybody has ever considered using the EEMs just for the chalice, while everyone receives the Host from a priest or a deacon."
Is it just me or is the western church obsessed with this notion of liturgical efficiency? I seem to recall reading somewhere that when the NO was being developed, different versions of the Mass were actually timed with a stopwatch.
So what's the rush with the Eucharist? Have they started installing meters in parish parking lots?
And don't even get me started on parking . . . there is NEVER enough! And choir members really have a rough time, because when we show up for warmup for the 11:30 the 10:00 Mass is still in and there is NO parking!
I went to Mass this past Monday. I usually don't get the chance to go to daily Mass but had the chance this time. Anway, the entire Mass took no longer than 35 minutes. It was as if the priest was in a hurry to just get it over with. I was really quite disturbing.
