If you are really a deacon, you really ought to know that the desire for the Extraordinary Form is powerfully attractive to young people and frequently sought after by families. To characterize it as a concession to nostalgia is grossly ignorant and inexcusable in a cleric.
Your understanding of participation also appears to be deficient and deformed. Are you sure you’re a deacon? We used to have a “deacon” around here who turned out to be a fraud.
I am a validly ordained deacon in the Roman Catholic tradition. Are you questioning that? Your opinion matters me not. If I’m not “catholic” enough for you and a few others on this forum, so be it. But I’ve been ministering to God’s people for over 12 years. I am comfortable with the Lord and the Church on ALL that I have done in service to and for others. But I can tell you, I am done with this thread.
