Most of the liturgy-committee- ministers are simply stupid in EVERY sense of the word. THey are ignorant of history, art, moment, time, space, ceremony, elegance, truth, goodness, and beauty. They resist because Chant and Latin require THOUGHT--something they don't have the tools or time to deal with.

I'll call them ignorant, apathetic and uninterested, but not stupid. Not the ones I know. They have the time and the tools, but don't see the need. Of course, we are talking about people who refuse to go to the Christmas Vigil at Midnight because it's too hard to get up the next morning (the biggest mouth in that bunch didn't even wrap presents when her kids were little. she doesn't own an ironing board, either, and brags about it. This from a woman who passed all 6 of parts of the CPA exam on the first shot).

This stuff makes me so catty.

Obviously, she made her choice--and it was NOT her family.

I used the term 'stupid' when I should have said 'uninterested.' Of course, it is STUPID to sit at a 2-hour meeting every month if one is not interested in the proceedings, nor the outcome...
