			== Liturgical Abuses ==

			Don't [[strain the gnat\|"strain the gnat and swallow the camel."]] For the good of our own souls at the very least, we must love our enemies, even if they are the priests who are engaging in liturgical abuse. The law of love must overrule the laws of the liturgy in our hearts and minds. The lawbreakers are not going to stop breaking the laws just because we complain to them about their lawlessness. It is bad enough that they disfigure the sacred mysteries; it is worse if we disfigure our hearts by nursing resentment instead of mercy.

Sacred vessels for containing the Body and Blood of the Lord must be made in strict conformity with the norms of tradition and of the liturgical books.[205]The Bishopsâ€™ Conferences have the faculty to decide whether it is appropriate, once their decisions have been given the recognitio by the Apostolic See, for sacred vessels to be made of other solid materials as well.

 '''''Ad orientem''''' is Latin for "toward the East."  Every sunrise reminds us of the day when the Son rose from the dead.  There was an ancient tradition that churches should be ''oriented'' (literally, "Easted") toward the rising sun, and that both priests and people would face in that direction while praying.  More importantly, the entire congregation was spiritually turned towards God, seeking His face and making a joint offering through the priest to Him.
