When you mentioned it I just had to stop and think about it… :D: Many people might not think about Jesus as being Incarnate because they don’t believe that he was Divine. Plus they both involve Mary so I could see the tomato/tomahto affect on non-Catholics.

No, I believed in the incarnation. I also believed that Jesus as god, so his conception was immaculate. 🙂 I was in no way thinking of Mary’s conception.

Wow, vz – What side of the bed did you get up on! I think that it is most correct and traditional to feel uneasy about actions that do not belong at a Catholic Mass. The ill feelings came not from being around God or having received Our Lord in Holy Communion, but from an honest conviction that others were blaspheming that same God and Lord.

Apologies to all if my reaction appears too strong.
I have a very hard time believing the word vomit belongs. Uneasy, perhaps.
I also have a very hard time with anyone that believes there is some kind of problem with a perfectly valid Mass.

This thread was intended to be light-hearted and humorous. I am uncertain how vomit fits into that.
 
Yikes, I meant to capitalize “God”

How do your neighbors know you’re a traditional Catholic? You’re always blasting Benedictine chant on your iPhone speakers.

That must sound really, really weird to people!
 
You know you traditional catholic when you go to mass and your the only one who receives communion on the tongue.

I do that*** ALWAYS***, but don’t consider myself a Traditional Catholic, just Catholic. 🙂

I think it may have already been posted, but you know you are traditional when many of these fit you, but you never consider yourself anything other then Catholic.

I agree with the priest. I’m sure that meant much more to God than giving up meat would have. So I think being a friend and companion to that couple made it a more perfect Lent.

See, this was a tough one for me. Fasting in reverence to our saviour vs. dining w. an elderly couple. I have a military background so I’m thinking, our Lord & saviour outranks an elderly couple, right? Then I think, well, there’s the love one another bit, the love thy neighbor, then the beatitudes & I’m thinking, what a nightmare! I wanted to do the right thing (niether of which was wrong), but in striving to be a good Catholic Christian, I wanted to make the right decision for the right reasons. Boy, what a dilemma that was for me! LOL! I was trying so hard to have the perfect lent, & see how long I could go before going to confession again. I seem to be once every 2-3 weeks. That is on MY conscience, meaning, I noticed or felt I did something wrong or sinned. But yeah, in the end, I think sharing a meal with people and having nice conversation seemed the right choice. The inner conflict though was agonizing, LOL!
 
I do a lot of Trad Catholic things even though I’m just a regular Catholic. One of those things is setting aside “Church clothes”, ie. clothes I only wear to Church. My mom did this and made sure her kids did this until we left home. Her opinion was that 1) the priest wears vestments, something set apart from his everyday wardrobe and 2) special occasions require special clothes. For my mom, every Mass was a special occasion!

Technically I’m not a Trad Catholic because there is no Latin Mass here, but I notice that I have a lot of the same habits as the TC’s. I guess I’m a closet TC ready to come out as soon as a Latin Mass comes to town.
 
You know you’re a traditional Catholic when you’re on a Vocation Discernment retreat at an OF only monastery, but you’re willing to get up atɪ 3am to attend one of the old monk’s TLM Missa Privata.

Yah. You must have crazy dark circles.
 
…when the publisher removes the “Thee”, “Thy” and “Thou” from your favorite old hymns.
Yesterday we sang one of my favorite old hymns for the entrance, “O Jesus we adore Thee” -only the “Thee was changed to “You” and the “Thy” changed to “Your”. It just didn’t sit well with me. But they did leave the “Thine” at the end because “Yours” would not have rhymed”
"O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment (Yours?) :dts:
That is just me. I still pray the “Hail Mary” and the “Our Father” with the old pronouns in reference to God and the Blessed Mother. But I know several faithful Catholics, faithful to the Magisterium, daily Mass attendees who prefer to use the more modern pronouns.

:rolleyes: VZ, with all due respect, you may have a “hard time” with me too, because - whilst I believe there is no “kind of problem with a perfectly valid Mass” (if it is perfectly valid), my stomach churns with anger when the Holy Tabernacle is hidden from view of the congregation. What is ‘sickening’? to some of us is the lack of respect given to Our Lord by demeaning the placement of His tabernacle (which should have central focus on the Altar - where it was traditionally placed for centuries to honour Him).

Hope you understand what I’m trying to convey here. Anything which detracts from giving God the honour, respect, praise, worship He deserves is what I consider offensive and insulting to His worthiness.

Peace to you

With all due respect, I hope you never visit St Peter’s at the Vatican :rolleyes:

I think that you need to do some homework and go back to study the history of the placement of the tabernacle for different situations. Insulting people about their presumed lack of respect toward the Real Presence goes against the Teachings of the Church that have been in place for the last 2000 years.

And you do not believe your own usage of vocabulary portrays an equal disrespect?

God and his church deserve more respect then to be placed along side that particular image.

I didn’t know it was possible to attend a Missa Privata. Do monks/priests who still celebrate TLM allow women to attend, too?

I was invited to attend by the priest’s acolyte; so it is kind of a rarity, i’m sure. It was quite different from a normal Missa Lecta, in that I didn’t change my posture, but just stood against the back wall with my missal.

I’m sure women could attend if the altar is in the church sanctuary, but if it’s in the cloister, like it is in my Abbey, then probably not.

Christiano,

My comments were in support of Fidi’s comments and in support of Brownginger and TheMc in their response to Vz when he misunderstood Fidi! (complicated isn’t it?) :confused:

Homework done… SIR! 👍:-

“Most liturgical consultants advocate radical changes in the basic orientation of the liturgical elements in churches, an “updating” that, they believe, was mandated by a revolutionary change in the Second Vatican Council’s doctrine of Eucharist. The traditional central placement of the tabernacle, the visual and symbolic center of Catholic churches for at least a thousand years, is, in the opinion of most influential liturgists and liturgical theologians, a mistake that urgently needs fixing…” Helen Hull Hitchcock, Adoremus Bulletin See adoremus.org/7-899Tabernacle.html for full article and other links.

Paulamari (I do have a name, and Saint Paul is my patron saint)
1 Corinthians, 2 12:16 Now instead of the spirit of the world, we have received the Spirit that comes from God, to teach us to understand the gifts that he has given us. Therefore we teach not in the way philosophy is taught, but in the way that the Spirit teaches us: we teach spiritual things spiritually. An unspiritual person is one who does not accept anything of the Spirit of God: he sees it all as nonsense; it is beyond his understanding because it can only be understood by means of the Spirit. A spiritual man, on the other hand, is able to judge the value of everything, and his own value is not to be judged by other men. As scripture says: “Who can know the mind of the Lord, so who can teach him?” But we are those who have the mind of Christ.
