  2. Zephyrinus is delighted that Our Liturgical Correspondent, Dante P, concurs with Zephyrinus's view that the very idea of introducing the word “ORDINARY” into The Divine Mass is a massive indication of how Vatican II is, basically, from another planet.

    One wonders what one is supposed to do (or Celebrate) on, say, “The 132nd Sunday in ORDINARY TIME” One could always hum three verses of “Kumbaya, My Lord”, on Paper and Comb, or Kazoo, I suppose.

    1. Agreed. Totally. Thank you, Dante P.

      To underscore the veracity of this “thread”, Zephyrinus asks: “Why is it that nobody hears that plaintive rendition of “Kumbaya, My Lord”, any more ?

      If it was such a tremendous addition to the two-thousand-year-old Liturgy, why has it suddenly disappeared ?

      Answers on the back of a Postage Stamp, please.
