Just one stylistic note: I wish The Pillar would stop using the phrase "toward the altar" or "faces the altar". It doesn't clarify anything. He can face the altar and the people at the same time, and he can face the altar and 'ad orientem' at the same time.

I still don't understand why all the liturgies should have to be the same, perhaps because of the 10 different canons available for use in the Novus Ordo. If people get closer to God through one liturgy rather than another, they should, to my mind, be able to attend that which draws them closer to God. I think all this wrangling over it simply separates them from each other and puts distance between them and God.
