Still ROFL
"(Well, except maybe at low, low Mass.)"
Fortunately, the "low Mass" is unheard of in the Orthodox Church. I'm curious to know its derivation. Some say it came into being in Ireland during the years of the Cromwellian persecution of the Roman Catholics.
Actually, Low Mass dates back earlier than the 16th. Century. Not exactly sure when, though.
I agree with you. I think Low Mass, in hindsight, should never have been invented. The true, normative form of the Mass is the Solemn High Mass. Hence, there is no such thing as a "reduced" liturgy in the Eastern Rites/Orthodox. Liturgical minimalism has bred the "Low Mass Mentality" and this mentality was damaging both pre and post V2, just manifested in different ways.
Whatever restorations or future reforms are to be done, they need to go a long way to eradicate a liturgically minimalist mentality among the faithful.
