GAVSHEV Member Registered: 01/24/02 Posts: 212 Loc: my house	Hello Everyone, I was just wondering how many parishes there are out there which use both old and new calendars. Does this not create a rift in the parish? And how about the priest, how is he to hold easter matins and then two hours later go back into the middle of lent? I could see how living this way could make the pastor go either insane or numb to his surroundings. Anyways, what do you think about this?
