Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

On reflection, I am inclined to think that the position advanced by the HACK might not have been entirely motivated by mendaciousness. You have to take into account the collective professional ignorance of that body when it come to the liturgical sciences. All of the clerics on it are parochial clergy and are not expected to have expert knowledge of the disciplinary norms of Catholic Liturgy. None of the laity on the HACK had the slightest clue as to what they were doing. Alex White proposed a document that was a piece of consumate ignorance. Proposeing it was like shooting into hedge.
