Some kind words

...I recently came across an article by Louis Tofari concerning the "dialogue Mass." It was written in response to a piece in the August 31, 2008 issue of The Remnant by columnist, Mr. Brian McCall titled “'Mang’e State Zitt’—Eat and be Quiet: Could This Italian Expression Be the Answer to the Optional Dialogue Mass?”

​

It's actually the best piece on the subject that I've read. I've had some correspondence with Mr Tofari. When we began the TLM at St. John the Beloved, he was kind enough to provide a variety of notes, which were the draft for his later work [...] entitled: The General Principles of Ceremonies of the Roman Rite for Inferior Ministers. His notes have been very helpful in the training and formation of our server corps... David L. Alexander (ManWithBlackHat.blogspot.com)
