Hi betsy;

It’s weird, but I was going to write a letter to my bishop ‘complaining’ about the prior parish we were at, but thanking him for this idea, would be a better route. I still might send a separate letter letting him know that not all parishes are subscribing to tradition, and there are some idle abuses out there…borderline, perhaps. But, what a great idea to thank him for this wonderful idea!! 🙂

Yes, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! 🙂 I think it’s best to establish yourself as an ally of the bishop than to start out as a complainer, especially about “borderline” things. Then, if something serious comes up, you aren’t dismissed as “that whiney whatevergirl.” It’s more like, “Oh, even whatevergirl, the one who’s really on our side and thanks us all the time, is worried about something. I’d better pay attention.”

Yes, I was thinking the same. Maybe I’ll send him a jar of honey, too, while I’m at it. 😃
