EFC1127A: First of all, MSW is no more an expert on the mythic "Catholic Left" than you are.  And yes, for the record, your postings are generally very "lame."

EFC... [Anyone whose moniker is their serial number off their past-due label deserves all the skepticism they get - are you in hiding from your buddy 'thought police' in the Vatican?]  For your edification, there is a reason why the "Our Father" is immediately followed by the "Sign of Peace": they are both part of the same introductory ritual of the Communion rite - natural progression from one to the other - but of course, for you, that is a non-essential element, not part of the eucharistic "essences."

"Semi-coma?" Really? You think so ... When you stick you head in the sand like an ostrich, remember EFC what part of your anatomy is most exposed.
