Reblogged from Not for Attribution:
Seeking respite from the incessant palaver at our parish church during mass — from the altar and assorted podiums, I mean — I repaired to Northlake's St. John Vianney this a.m. for the 10 o'clock Latin mass.
Not only did I find a respite from palaver — do this, do that, sing when the lady raises her right hand as if hailing a taxi, watch your step in the communion-time scrum, say howdy (“amen”) to the lady holding the host before your eyes, etc.
