Feardia, Viking, Steven,

I make several mistakes in/by making my original post.

1) By making a comment about an issue I ultimately care so little about. I have "no dog in that hunt" as they say, and am not sorry that the Latin mass is (mostly) history. What prompted my remark was sort of a "last straw breaking the camel's back" phenomenon. I have been having my nose tweaked over that past two years by comments on sites like Avalon and others aimed at the Catholic Church, Christianity, and more generally members/followers of organized religions. These posts seem to universally go unchallenged. Within the last week I have been annoyed by comments on another site that I felt deliberately omitted facts and twisted the rest. I also thought some comments in the latest Dot Connector were over the top including the claim that essentially all members of organized religions were mind controlled slaves (it seems Viking may agree though). So I made a comment about something I thought was literally not true based on my experience, and here is where there was another problem, namely

2) a) Making the mistake that my experience was unquestionably the common one and b) that the discussion would not then go on to larger issues. Not that is matters in the grand scheme of things, but I did check with my mom, and since my parents emmigrated to the US in 1956 the German translations of the mass were available in the missals at the church they/we were attending. So Feardia and Viking, when you state your experience was different, I accept that, but don’t make the claim that nobody new what was going on - that is not true either.

Feardia, sorry that your experience was so unpleasant/spiritually unfulfilling/repugnant? But when you make the statement “so they could have been performing all sorts of witchcraft to the ignorant people most of whom were illiterate until universal education became available following WWII”, we are not even on the same planet. This is an example of the type of statement I was talking about in 1) above. And the fact that well over a day and a half later, no one was else was bothered to comment on it speaks volumes for the mindset here at Avalon.
