“Is not the expression, ‘The Lord be with you,’ more than enough?” the Filipino cardinal reasoned.

I am so glad the Cardinal said this! Unfortunately, the link has changed and most of the article is behind a pay wall. Here is the corrected link: https://catholicherald.co.uk/dont-wish-parishoners-good-morning-at-the-start-of-mass-says-cardinal-tagle

I'm not a big fan of Tagle, but I'll give him this one.

Especially when it's a Mass at 5 p.m.

Armed with this knowledge, I sure gave our associate a good talking to this morning when he started out with "Good Morning!" "Excuse me, Father! Before you go on with the opening song, do you know the awful thing you just did? Where did you go to seminary?"

"Don’t wish parishoners (sic) ‘good morning’ at the start of Mass, says Cardinal Tagle" As if there weren't other, more serious problems with the way Mass is said these days, everywhere in the world.

The Cardinal is absolutely correct. When priests say Good Morning it means they don't understand the difference between the sacred and profane. The greeting at Mass is sacred. The same goes for Have a good day after the Go the Mass is ended. Bravo that he said it.

Priests who start Mass with a "Good morning" don't seem to grasp the supreme profundity of the "Dominus vobiscum."
