Yes - no one was required to use a 42-ounce bat to break Babe Ruth's HR records

Our rose set is old (100+ years) and is definitely pink but with a slight orange cast (to my eyes at least). But we have a rose cope and matching altar frontal that are newer and fall into the dusky rose category.

All that said most of the "rose" vestments you will see in the USA on Laetare Sunday or Gaudete Sunday can definitely be described as pink.

I do think English differentiates between the two (but there are overlapping shades) - I think what most people think of as "rose" has a bit of blue or purple in it, while pink doesn't. So you have e.g. dusky rose, which isn't really pink; and "pepto-bismol pink" which isn't real...

"Rose" is classified as a "shade of pink", the vestments are accurately described as "pink" Well, rose isn't just a shade of pink but rose and pink do have overlapping shades. But there are some "rose" vestments that really aren't pink as we understand the wo...

I've been to many Masses at which the Kyrie was skipped after the Confiteor so it seems to be a somewhat widespread practice.

The important thing to remember is that there is no such thing as marriage between two people of the same sex since they're incapable of exchanging marriage rights.

If the confeteor is used the kyrie is still supposed to be used but it is slightly shorter - just simply Lord have mercy R/Lord have mercy etc. with no petition in between.

Fixed that for you

Well if you say the Confiteor you're still supposed to say the Kyrie (even though some don't).

I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen both done, it is one or the other.

You would think so but the rubrics say otherwise

Probably closer to 4 years now, I don't think it was ever as high as 8.

Well, yes, it's important to distinguish, as conservative Catholics do, between the teaching of the Church and the opinions of the Pope where they differ (as is the case e.g. on the death penalty).

Yes, it's weird how USAID has become a sacred cow even among some Catholics. When I was received into the Church in the late 1990s the talk among Catholic conservatives was all about USAID flooding African countries with condoms and hormonal contraceptives.

The show itself seems pretty good but the roundtable discussion after ...
