When will there be uniformity in the Mass liturgy?

[ProVobis]

There are many ways. The most glaringly obvious is the tabernacle of the Lord where the Most Holy Eucharist resides.

But what about the liturgies?

The tabernacle has its roots supposedly in the Holy of Holies as God instructed to build in the OT so it wouldn’t surprise me to find something equivalent in a non-Catholic Church.

There is nothing like a tabernacle in a Protestant Church. However, other similarities exist, as they do with the Jewish faith. The order of service is similar, for example.

There are Tabernacles in the Anglican Churches I’m familiar with. Complete with sanctuary lamps. Now, we believe that Jesus is never present in those tabernacles, but that doesn’t make them any less Tabernacles.

Then how do we distinguish the Church from a Protestant church, for example?

Check the diocesan website, they’ll generally have a directory of all parishes in the diocese.

Seriously, though, the argument falls a little flat because if you performed everything to the letter of the TLM rubrics, then you’d be equally likely to be mistaken for SSPV, Old Catholics, Palmarians, or whoever else. We should be deciding on our liturgy for our own reasons, not on the influence (positive or negative) of other sects.
