I thought this was a great article but I too wondered about this(oops I meant to respond to the point about how much the extent of the gap was limited to the United States).

Yeah... not like every Mass begins with a vote on which options to use, or which songs to sing...
We didn't even get a vote on whether to have Mass for a few months in there.
Amen.
You should be named a "Master of Theology" in the Order.
Heaven forbid! I'm just an altogether ordinary Lay Dominican with an eye for ecclesiastic irony and the hypocrisy of "our betters" in the Church.
IMPOSES sounds true torment for me. We need to have fewer imposters!
