Catholic Married? Pick two!

Reverent parish with no liturgical abuse.
Large spacious home in a good neighborhood.

I pick these.
Actually, the spacious home isn’t as important as the good neighborhood is.

It doesn’t matter what people prefer. It matters how God wants to be worshipped.

How does God want to be worshipped? We don’t know how God wants to be worshipped.
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep,” not “Here’s the Missal I want you to use.”

Thank GOD my parish allows sinners to attend Mass or I’d be Massless.

Really? The ushers check everyone at the door at our parish.

If CAF were a parish, I’d imagine that would be brought up at parish council.

The Church’s Ordinary Form of the Mass is validly celebrated with the priest facing the people and in English. The normative posture for receiving Communion in the US is standing, and in the hand.

That doesn’t mean people can’t attend Mass said in Latin, or receive on the tongue whilst kneeling—but it does mean people can attend a Mass that suits their individual preferences. And both are equally valid and should be presumed to be reverent.

To clarify: “The” normative posture is either standing or kneeling and either on the tongue or in the hand, for those who are in the US or in a place where standing and/or receiving in the hand are allowed.

I don’t disagree there.
