[old and tired]

Let me start by saying that I'm not Catholic.

Not yet, anyway. Anyone who longs for ritual and respects tradition belongs with us. Come on in. The water's fine.

[bigsigh]

If you respect tradition, you will follow the apostles practice of preaching and saying mass in the local language.

I know many of you long for Latin mass and I don't care about it one way or another. But you can't claim tradition when the original practice was the opposite of what you want.

Have fun in your revelry and whatever victory you think you have achieved by this pronouncement.
