Word of the Day:McOffice

My apologies! I had intended to post my 'Computus' article today. Given the firestorm going on in the Church, Francis's heresy and the revelation that he has been enabling and covering up moral perversion so filthy it stinks to high heaven (quite literally!), I haven't found time to write it. Since it is going to be a somewhat lengthy, technical article, it's going to take some time to do it justice.

I hope things will die down to a dull roar in a few days and I can get back to it. In the meantime, there will still be a short 'Word of the Day' post.

MCOFFICE. A word invented by a friend of mine for the 'reformed' (read gutted) Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours. 

He was reciting the 'Anglican Breviary', basically an English translation of the Roman Breviary of Pope St Pius X. I did not, yet, own a Roman Breviary, so I was reciting the Office from the one-volume LOTH. 

We decided to trade Office books for awhile. After a few days, he called an end to the trade, saying that he wanted to recite the Divine Office and not 'McOffice'.

My experience with the Anglican Breviary led me to purchase one since I couldn't afford a Roman Breviary at the time. I now own and recite the Roman Breviary according to the Johannine Reform as authorised by Summorum Pontificum.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
