You’re welcome!

Rote dictation in a religious ceremoniously setting does nothing engaging the holy spirit in changing a sole’s heart.

Did you ever think for just a minute that evangelization is not the purpose of the Divine Liturgy?

There is a role for solid preaching in the Church. There are some good preachers in the Church to deliver that work. (e.g., the famous Fr. Corapi)

But the Divine Liturgy is the communal worship of God. By believers. Within that liturgy, the Holy Spirit works on our hearts directly as we turn our minds toward God in adoration.

Just something to consider...

How about a cod? Or a haddock?

Thanks for your opinion. Uh, what IS "rote dictation" and "a religious ceremoniously"?
