My poor young pastor will have some difficulties with this. He's under 40 and I've heard him use the 'we've been doing it this way for forty years' statement.
I'll have to commiserate with him and tell him how we managed to live through wrenching change forty years ago.
And needle him a bit by asking when we can expect to have our communion rails re-installed.
Add my voice to yours!! Wish I could be a fly on the wall during that conversation.

ROFL!! If you really want to get his goat, tell him you've heard the USCCB will be discussing a return to Latin, at next year's meeting.
