I’m sorry to hear you attack like that. I can assure you that while we see our liturgical deficiencies, we are doing the best we can and we DO use the Roman Canon Eucharistic Prayer I, and that is NOT a modified BCP79 Rite II.

We are the Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church, and this being the eve of Her feast day, made a procession to the shrine and rededicated it after 10 years and several attacks of vandals. We said the Rosary in its entirety, and then did three pages of rededication, one for the souls of the vandals. Then we sang Salve Regina, and went home.

The joy I receieved from our worship was immense, because the last prayer was one that a dearly beloved anglican priest had said to me on the occasion that I was going to turn off my mothers life support, but she died before I got there, probably while we were praying. But the best part, to this sinners heart, was thinking about how what we were doing would make the protestant’s eyes bleed.

“O LORD, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen.
“ BCP 1928

I might not be understanding what your trying to communicate. Is it a RC joy to see pain inflicted on those that do not believe as you do?

Let me understand you; you take issue with him because he “attacks” your “liturgical deficiencies” and then you turn around and quote from the very Prayer Book his Church uses, a document that many consider to be one of the most beautiful works of theological prose, or any prose for that matter that has ever been written and on top of that you manifest considerable pride in the process. My, “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.
