An Eastern Orthodox's view of the 'vernaculrisation' of the Liturgy.
From Rorate Cæli
The vry famous Lebanese-American mathematician and writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who is Eastern Orthodox, recently wrote the following as a small portion of a preface proposed to the best-seller
Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World (by Tom Holland, on the inescapable foundational position of Christianity in Western Civilization and beyond).It captures so much of what we as Traditional Catholics feel deeply about the Sacred Liturgy -- and he limits himself mostly to the language of the liturgy, and does not even go into the essential transformation of the texts, rubrics, and practice that (almost) destroyed the Latin Mass and replaced it with the hideous committee-made anti-liturgical concoction known as the "Novus Ordo".

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.
