Syncretism, Paganism = Native American Spirituality - Yes or No?

[RogerDeCourcy]

The problem today is finding a Vetus Ordo sung mass, said according to the rubrics. When they are common and people can choose between them and local creativity or archeolgisms, I’ll be a lot happier.

Eventually, people will realise that a rite, which excludes personal expression and which uses an immutable language, is a rather clever way of keeping a faith alive and intact, through time.

When faced with one’s own mortality, dancing at Mass or the congregation wearing kilts and making a big show at the offertory or whatever is very grating.

What is Vetus Ordo Roger? Thanks for the update on that…I am assuming it has to do with a mass format, right?
