Much better, to the Roman Curial mind, to knock down the venerable edifice and replace it with a 'one size fits all' but you must do it solution.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-89392324020465373992016-01-06T16:08:45.648-06:002016-01-06T16:08:45.648-06:00I agree totally, having heard this idea from a goo...I agree totally, having heard this idea from a good friend more than twenty years ago now. Let the secular clergy read Lauds and Vespers, perhaps with the Lessons from Matins, and don't touch the office.Paul Goingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479425203740052841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-54099849214480327782016-01-05T22:55:26.032-06:002016-01-05T22:55:26.032-06:00Read the Lessons at Matins and pray Lauds/Vespers/...Read the Lessons at Matins and pray Lauds/Vespers/Compline.

Eastern Catholic clerics I've met have informed me that they do not have an absolute "obligation" to say the office, just a recommendation.<br />I find that trying to say the entire thing in whichever form (Roman, Byzantine, Syriac, other Western, and especially Coptic) gets rather tiring for laymen and makes it all too tempting to give up entirely. Trying to say one of the hours in the day is good enough for a start.Ecclesial Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070187926547373245noreply@blogger.com
