If they had tables or not doesn't matter - the NO removed the altars and replaced them with tables.

Please be good enough to stop repeating the obvious and the irrelevant. Do you have something useful and pertinent to contribute to the topic of this thread? If so, I'm sure we're all ears.

Thank you for posting your useful and pertinent contribution to this topic which is certainly relevant.

After 6 pages of no one posting the obvious, it is safe to assume after 50 years of exposure to the travesty, the fact was not obvious to anyone, certainly not to you.

So you're in your fifties, yet you haven't lost the ability or the inclination to behave like a know-it-all adolescent nitwit! What's your secret to perpetual ~~youth~~ immaturity? I sense a booking on Oprah in your future.

Yes lady, I'm in my 50s - didn't your parents teach you that it is a Catholic thing to respect your elders or were you born and raised in the Novus Ordo?

Oh, and thank you for posting your useful and pertinent contribution to this topic which is certainly relevant.

I got my answers. Y'all do what you want in this thread.

I want to know the difference between a 'table' and a 'free-standing altar'. I wasn't born yesterday, I've seen free-standing altars over a millennium old.

Stop attacking people. Stubborn s one of the nicest people on CI.

We had some details oriented posters like Icterus and Claudel and even Poche post actual sources that don't explicitly give permission for altar girls. It's another abomination that crept in and is somehow a ubiquitous practice in the novus ordo. In the U.S., I would bet the conference of U.S. Bishops with the aid of reprobate Cardinal Bernardin pushed this through.

Whatever it's origin, it is practiced EVERYWHERE!

I think we can safely say that this was snuck in by deception and that Pope John Paul II certainly approved of it.

Just so. It's definitely better than an even-money bet.

Sadly, it can be seen from many of your other posted comments that you have a peculiar standard for niceness.

Stubborn didn't even read the comment of mine about which he has now several times childishly sneered. Among other things, had he done so, he would have learned that I am fully fifteen years his senior and a member of the male sex. So much for his demand that I show his age and "wisdom" due respect!

These facts elicit a question: What kind of "nice" person acts in this fashion? One correct answer might be "Tiffany's kind of nice person."

Have fun with Stubborn. I am taking a cue from the OP and moving on to pastures new.

My apologies for saying you were a lady. Which comment of yours states you are a male 15 years older? It's not in this thread.

Except on extremely rare occasion, free standing altars are not found in the Novus Ordo, tables are the norm. Again, the NO have no need for nor do they even want an altar on the stage and it's been that way since the wreckovation started.

If there is any question, the easiest and most immediate way to tell the difference between them is that an altar *always* has the tabernacle on it right in the center of the altar - which is something that only gets in the way at NO services.

Side altars do not always have the tabernacle on them.
