While on vacation, the local church priest conducts daily mass in 17 minutes and Sunday Mass lasted 37!

Our church holds more that 1000 people, at least half of whom receive communion, this is the Mass times for our “Sundays” : 6.00 am, 7.00am, 8.00 am, 9.30am, 5.30 pm & 7.00 pm - if you bear in mind that we pray the Rosary in the church before every Mass, you can do the math as to how long Sunday Masses are.

I have never had any doubt about the reverence of the Masses I attend.

Nonetheless, while she might be an “educated” theologian, her education is flawed insofar as she hews to the protestant sect of Lutheranism. If she were TRULY educated and properly catechized, she would understand that the least reverent Catholic mass by FAR exceeds the most reverent “service” the lutherans have ever put on in their man made ministry.

I take the opinions of “educated” protestants on the mass with a grain of salt.

That is impressive… I have never been able to look at a priest and determine that he joined the priesthood for a paycheck and is just sitting back fat and lazy with no concern to give glory to God or move peoples’ souls… somewhere along the line I thought that the priesthood was a pretty good organization of men who have sacrificed A LOT.

I wonder how you developed this ability to determine peoples’ private intentions, however, as I see no mention of such an ability included in any charisms anywhere…

Well said.
