It is not the adjective "stable" and so it remains true that the word simply is not there.<BR/><BR/>You are, of course, quite right that it qualifies "coetus" and not "fidelium" and so Fr Dwight's claim to apply it restrictively to "unstable" people is strained at best.<BR/><BR/>I also agree that his approach makes it harder to get the NOM in Latin which I also agree is a pity.<BR/><BR/>But, on the other hand, I think he is on a learning curve and we must give him a bit of time and space to get thre in the end.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your input and happy blogging!Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-31923276324453030262007-09-07T14:01:00.000+01:002007-09-07T14:01:00.000+01:00You say that SP doesn't contain the word 'stable';...You say that SP doesn't contain the word 'stable'; but Art 5 uses the word 'continenter', which I interpret as 'abiding' or 'unbroken'. Fr. Longenecker's argument is strained (to say the least!) as the adjective is applied to 'coetus', the group, rather than to the members of that group.<BR/><BR/>I have no great attachment to the JXXIII Missal as opposed to the PVI missal; but I wish it were easier to find Latin Mass in the Novus Ordo, and the approach used by Fr. Longenecker can only make that harder.Alechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762965355162182913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-22129267421492383032007-08-30T14:47:00.000+01:002007-08-30T14:47:00.000+01:00Well said Janice.Well said Janice.Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-8298185483122989842007-08-28T15:37:00.000+01:002007-08-28T15:37:00.000+01:00This passive-aggresive obstinance and disobedience...This passive-aggresive obstinance and disobedience to the Holy Father is really starting to tick me off. There seems to be a cabal of these priests who just want to observe the bare minimum. It's legalism, it's Pharisaism. A parish isn't one's own little turf or kingdom. These priests are responsible to God and their parishioners. I wish they'd starting acting like it.<BR/><BR/>JaniceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
