..... posting private information ........  

Quoted from mikechristine1

1.    Private info?    Care to explain what is private about information that, by law, is public to anyone who wishes to view such information?      

2.    Obviously you must also beleve that all the stuff in the city's budget, all those raises and sneaky handouts was not meant for the knowledge of the taxpayers that pay for them, right?

3.    Guess you better go cry to your dem buddies and make them remove your name and photos, and any other websites besides this

I have already made it perfectly clear that I will NOT carry on a conversation with MikeChristine -- because he/she has made vulgar and unnecessary attacks on members of my family AND has also sent me private messages making false and unnecessary attacks on the church that I attend.

I will NOT converse with him/her here --- Even if MikeChristine ever has the courage to stop hiding behind his/her username  -- I would NOT converse or have anything to do with him/her outside of this forum either.

I will NOT allow a degenerate jackass to make personal attacks on members of my family.    If he/she doesn't like it --- too bad .. grow up and go bother someone else.

Just sharing.  Ran into some friends when going visiting churchees last night.  They happened to mention they went to St. Adelberts (convenince about time I guess rather than their own parish) for the Mass and the wife said she she felt like she hadn't even been to a Holy Thursday Mass.   She said they spoke the Gloria when the proper way is sung with all bells ringing.  She said they left out the washing of the feet.   And was very disappointed that they didn't have the normal procession through the church with the Pange Lingua sung as is customary.  Just passing along since you've mentioned you're some parish leader.  

Quoted Text

The Gloria is not sung during Holy Week  .. same with the bells.
The washing of the feet is optional - and we determined to forgo that option this year for a variety of reasons.
There was a procession from the sanctuary to the Altar of Repose -- and an appropriate hymn about the Blessed Sacrament was sung.   The Church of Saint Adalbert has always reserved the full procession around the church for Easter morning services and for our annual Eucharistic Day observance.

You misspelled the name of the parish.

All of the Masses and services at our parish were done according to Liturgical guidelines.   So obviously you and the lady need to take some courses in Liturgy before you make your ridiculous derogatory comments.

Apologies on the spelling.   OK, the washing of the feet is optional   Beyond that, obviously you are the one who does not know.  Lent ends with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday (reference url included)

III. Lent
27. Lent is a preparation for the celebration of Easter. For the Lenten liturgy disposes both catechumens and the faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery: catechumens, through the several stages of Christian initiation; the faithful, through reminders of their own baptism and through penitential practices. [13]
28. Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord's Supper exclusive

And actually the rules are that the Gloria is to be sung AND with bells ringing.    From the USCCB (and I have not read anything that Bishop Hubbard said “NO” to singing and the bells, would you care to provide it?)

The rubrics then make a mention of the liturgical decoration. “The altar may be decorated with flowers with a moderation that reflects the character of the day” (EM, no.5).

The Church bells are rung during the singing of the Gloria and then remain silent unless the “diocesan Bishop, as circumstances suggest, decides otherwise” (EM, no.7). The decision about this matter no longer involves the conference of bishops. A further musical specification is provided: “the organ and other musical instruments may be used only to support the singing” (EM, no. 7)


By the way, according to these friends, the priest at your church failed to use the required humeral veil when carrying the Blessed Sacrament to the side altar.   And if you want poof, I can provide that too

Yes, the Gloria is sung (I even think there might be a local one in here)

Then why did you just post reply?
