The Irish Elk wonders about today's archiepiscopal installation Mass:
One wonders what value sign-language interpretation at the front of the church has for any deaf worshipers seated at the back.Actually, there was a designated section occupied by deaf faithful in the front 2-3 rows. They were right in front of us, the choir. Hm.
I'll bet they didn't complain about the Celtic Alleluia.
They put the deaf people closest to the choir? I hope the reason is that the choir belts out the liturgical music with such energy and volume that they would be the only ones who could sit there comfortably. Otherwise...well, I'll draw no more inferences either.
