There is, of course, a solution, but courtesy prevents me from saying it.

The current book holders on our pews are not long enough to fit two of the new green books side by side. Does any other Parish have the problem? --- http://www.stmichaelstoledo.org Please do your parish a favor. Take the books out of the pews and burn them. We should not have to suffer because the Archbishop made a $1,000.000 dollar mistake in printing them.

Since someone else said it first... I can chuckle.
Do your parish a second favour - burn the pews too!

Where are you getting the information from that proves $1,000,000 was spent on the revision of the D/L? I'm tired of hearing this over and over again with nothing to back it up. What are you privy to at the Chancery that the rest of the church is not?

What are you privy to at the Chancery that the rest of the church is not? No one is making a secret about the money that has been spent. The people at the seminary talk about it as $1,000,000 well spent. Do the math. $12 per pew book x 75,000 books = $900,000 $30 per altar book x 500 books (2 per parish) = $30,000 Repeat that again for the Basil Liturgy Book This doesn't include extra copies. The $1,000,000 is conservative. It does not include the money spent revising the liturgy and preparing the new books let alone travel and video production and paying Roman Catholic choirs to sing the new music. That could easily be another million $$. I am scandalized at the waste of good money on a project that has been shown to chase people away from the church.

Hate to tell you, but the parishes were required to pay for the pew books, they were not given out. We had a special "appeal" to cover the cost at my parish. I'm sure that other parishes did as well. I saw several church bulletins that were selling bookplates for the inside front covers for the names of those the book is offered in memory of. We can't pay all our bills, but we had to pay for new pew books!

My parish is one of the larger ones in the Archeparchy, we bought 100 books.
The entire Metroploia has about 240 parishes and missions. So if every parish/mission bought 2 Liturgikons and 100 pew books, which is an over estitmation, that comes to around $300,000. A large amount but a far cry from $1 million.
