I do regularly attend OF Masses but my great sadness is that I need to know which priest is celebrating. If only all priests "said the black & did the red" we could all be at one with the Mass rather than (as I sometimes do - mea maxima culpa) wondering what the priest is about with his personalising the Mass.<br />Just today I talked with an old priest friend who summed it up quite nicely. He said "if only the laity would allow us - priests - to celebrate the Mass without them having to be always 'doing' something we would be much better."David O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042558615821880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-24085939054933748972012-10-03T16:41:53.957+01:002012-10-03T16:41:53.957+01:00I have no doubt that the Council was orthodox alth...I have no doubt that the Council was orthodox although I may struggle at times.
