Posted to balance out another thread, Traditional Priest Kicked Out Of New York
Thanks; Read that post which left the impression he was being booted back to S.A. for some nefarious reason. But really was for taking a swipe at the local bishop because of his pointy cap insistance on the using the observance of caual catholic rituals. But left that unexplained.
At the mass I attended. The pastor complained post sermon before dismissal about the host being dropped falling to the floor then picked up by the “dispenser” and given to the next in line. Explaining it was supposed to be returned to the altar and placed on the corporal.
This parish priest (despite the fact he’s in his sixties) of course does the host in hand business with different hymns allways new to the congregation recomended in the diocease missalete many of protestant origin being used for the “entrance” processional),offertory,communion,and “closing” (recessional). Of couse the women show up in shorts and flip flops likewise the men and worst of the kids, all dressed like slobs.
No respect or recognition for the solemnity of the ocassion encouraged here.

If they use the OCP series they are in for a great surprise with the new missalette for Ordinary Time. There are ABSOLUTELY NO haugen, haas, schutte, etc. songs. They are all traditional hymns. Rejoice!
I was so excited about it that I sent a positive note to Archbishop Sample (He’s been here one year.) telling him how wonderful all the traditional music was and hoping the new music issue that comes out in Advent will contain similar music (with the other haugen, haas, schutte, etc. omitted, of course.)
