How would you judge the propriety of starting a U.S. Marine Corps Flag Ceremony with "Hi there, everybody"? or ending a funeral with "BUH-BY!!"?

i do not see those examples congruent to saying, "good morning..."

[Mrs. Don-o]

Many do see "Good morning," as congruent to "Hi there, folks." But the point is, neither of them is congruent to "The Lord be with you."

The Mass is a great solemnity, much moreso than the Marine Corps Raising of the Colors. That's why we have, you know, RUBRICS.
