I hope Fr. Longnecker posts his homilies when he starts to explain the shift to people. Priests may want to try something like this, but not be fully confident in their ability to explain to the people why.
I am impressed that Fr Longenecker is taking the trouble to explain this change. I don’t remember much explanation when the change was in the opposite direction. In those days, it was take it or leave it.
I am impressed that Fr Longenecker is taking the trouble to explain the change that he is making. I don’t remember much explanation when the altars were turned around the last time! In those days, anyone who dissented was totally ignored.
I’m filled with admiration for priests who have the courage to celebrate the Novus Ordo ad orientem, hopefully after a period of catechesis to his parish as in this case. I am friends with several priests who are personally convinced that ad orientem is preferable to versus populum, but who are too timid to confront their congregations or their pastors about it, especially in places where the bishop and the chancery would be very unsympathetic, or even hostile – as in the case of Birmingham, AL under it’s former bishop. I hope we are living in a period where true liturgical renewal as in this case, will embolden bishops and priests to restore this essential posture. I hope it is eventually restored everywhere, or at least we reach a point where it is as commonplace, if not more, than versus populum.
He also has a biretta! I suppose the Extraordinary form may be next. ^_^
The Pastor of the parish where Fr. Longenecker is an Associate Pastor
wrote a wonderful “apologia” for the parishioners. Coincidentally, I
was just reading it this morning on their website:

This is exactly the kind of “communio/koinonia” that Fr. Z has been
“touting”, and Prof. Ratzinger has been writing about all these years.

It seems that even the Episcopalians are getting into the act. Wow. You’ve seen it; unfortunately you can’t now un-see it.
