Concerning the Mass

[dabaq]

Well, I'm just transferring this mini-debate over to my journal since Miriam seems to freak out every time I mention this subject in her journal...

Let's see here:

I said:
They can't understand the importance of the Mass if it looks like a Protestant worship service... Change the Mass back to the Catholic Mass and people will go.

God Bless!

Ah controversy....it is drawn to David....

Just to put in my word, the last Novus Ordo Mass I went to, the priest used the word "bitch" in the sermon (wasn't a very good sermon either).

The Mass shouldn't change to accomodate the general public....

But, hey, I don't have time to debate right now!

:-P

David a better debater than you!! That's hilarious. David doesn't know how to debate logically any more than my little brother.

[dabaq]

Who is this? And it is quite illogical to state that I debate illogically without stating proof (i.e. it becomes reduced to an ad hominem fallacy).

God Bless!

Note the subtle, interlaced humour...

[dabaq]

Hmmm... that was you? And if so, I don't see any subtle humour except in who your little brother may be...

God Bless!

(gasp) giving zenblends credit for my posts!!! I assure you, she was no where near the computer from which these posts are being typed.

Well, I'm sufficiently confused is all; please reveal yourself then so I can know who is speaking to me.

God Bless!

Aw....let me take a page from your book David. First you show proof that you can debate logically, since the proof is just too numerous for me to bring forward......I just don't have the time.

[dabaq]

Except for the fact that I know you probably have the time (as opposed to myself) and are mocking me, it is a valid statement

[zenblends]

While I agree that syncopation lowers one's consciousness to an emotional level, as opposed to music which raises the soul to a grander sense of the Divine, I think it's less a matter of leaving oneself empty and open to sin and more so that this sort of person is greatly inclined towards it, due to an emotionally reactive and pleasure-seeking nature.

Oh, and this anyonymous visitor certainly isn't me; I don't use exclamation points, nor do I make such bold, blanket statements. ;)

[dr_tikki_huff]

aww....where would be the fun in telling you who I am?

No, I don't have the time, but yep, I was mocking you. muahahahhaa

[dabaq]

Do I know you? I would imagine so...

If so, it could be quite a few people; from BOL is could be ColdFury or JoeIam; from ToH it could be Addison, Richard, Bob, Michael, or the Sparrer; from other places I'm not sure...

God Bless!

It could always be David's...other side.
