Jvette:
Not to be overly judgmental of your fellow parishoner but she wouldn’t be one of those people who freaked out on New Years eve 1969 and hasn’t come to grips that the 1960’s and Kumbaya Liturgy is dieing slowly but surely.
I am not sure since she is not one with whom I have had any real conversations about faith.
We both belong to Catholic Daughters and do a lot of charity work and such together. She’s a real dynamo and wonderful if you need something done.
I don’t even know why she mentioned that about the new prayers at Mass, but she did.
I didn’t have time to ask her anything else.
It may be she is one though.
She is a little older than me.
I was only 9 in 1969 so I don’t remember the changes too well.
I do remember the music changed, we hung banners in the church and we no longer knelt at the altar rail for communion.
I think it is probably that she is a very orderly person and maybe doesn’t take to well to change.
I hope I haven’t given you a false sense of her.
She truly is a lovely person, dedicated to the Church but not one to really go in depth on theology and such.
