medical personnel may have to make a choice to put the well-being of their family above their work/calling to assist the ill.
I hope this received plenty of press in New Orleans.
Decent folk nee to be apprised of rude, unethical behavior in their midst.
My view is that those who insult or deride believers are similar to right-wing
extremists, in that they are so hard-set in their opinions that dialogue in near impossible.
So, just as rational discussion is impossible for those who are completely closed-minded in politics, I just move on and don't waste my time with them.
It's a huge world with many people, many opinions and beliefs, and too little time to try to appeal to them all.
Even here on DU, there's so much I could read and reply to, why waste time and energy with disagreeable folk?
Depending on the parish, some parts of the Mass or other service are still
sung in Latin. Ex. The Sanctus, or the Pater Noster, or Kyrie (in Greek).
I always enjoy joining in - that doesn't seem to leave one, just like how to ride a bike never leaves.
Once in a great while, Benediction is done, and the Tantum Ergo just doesn't translate well into English
I grew up, too, with women wearing hats or veils, and the boys preparing to be servers.
I'm a KY neighbor, across the Ohio River, and so proud of what Gov. Beshear
has done for our KY neighbors.
Unfortunately for me, the KY Senate ads, particularly the many paid for by Mitch's guys, are playing all too often in our TV market. Thank goodness for the remote.
Sure hope Ms. Grimes can pull it off.
With Bill Clinton coming to speak for her, that should help her, if the mountain ministers don't forbid their flock to go.
Good luck!
Agree as to the strong cultural component.
The cultural aspect often becomes the social aspect as one goes out into the wider world.
High Episcopalian is very close, I believe.
I went to the ordination of a friend as an Episcopal deacon at the Episcopal cathedral in my city, and it was, as they say, more Catholic than the Pope. I felt very comfortable, though awed, during that service.
As for attending a Roman Catholic mass, it can likely be confusing if one is not familiar with the liturgy. And some masses are well done, some are routine and hurriedly done. Good and bad homilists. Good and bad music. I believe many/most Catholics go through life unaware of the elements that are part of the Mass as we know it today.
Once in a while a funeral or other ceremony is presented on TV where someone knowledgeable on what is happening explains the various elements to the viewers. Masses on EWTN usually presume a knowledge of RC liturgy.

I stay close to home and usually find using Kroger points works best for me.
