Sorry...I attributed it to you. :)

No insult taken here. Though "Mike the Geek" (he's a FReeper too) might. *\;-)

And you're 100% right about the old Latin liturgy. I attend it every week when I can, and its beauty and power is undeniable.

Some day I shall have to arrange to attend/observe, though my one year of Latin is almost completely faded. The goodwife knows it though (Latin is among her dozen-odd languages).

"There are many reasons to hold on to liturgical English. One is the fact that only with thee/thou and ye/you are the differences between 2nd person plural/singular and subjective/objective"

I take no offense at the attribution to sionnsar :-) With all due respect to liturgical English, however, as a Texan I must take exception to your above statement. The second person singular/plural is readily differentiated by the use of you/yall or your/yall's. I'm not at all sure how that would work in the liturgy, but I've heard it in plenty of sermons over the years!
