The Wonders Of American English.

Illustration: THE COMPUTER COACH

Zephyrinus was working recently on a Post for this Blog, entitled "Vigils, Votive Masses, And Ferias".

My Computer, which has an American dictionary loaded, didn't recognise the word "Ferias" and suggested that I use the word "Cafeterias", instead.

Is this the origin of the pejorative phrase for Modern-Day Liturgy called "Café Catholicism" (whereby one "chooses", as if from a menu, which bit of The Catholic Religion one wishes to believe in and totally ignores the rest) ?

May God help us.
