Minnesota, Shot - ... . Seriously? What is this?
Duh, per the article, "Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass."
If you don't understand that, then I can't help you. Seriously. I don't either.
Ok, I skimmed it. It means everyone faces the same way. My assumption is that instead of performing rites for the worshippers, the priest will face the back of the church like everyone else.
Google Minnesota Shot and tell me that this is not a strange coincidence of a headline.
Oh, I was not not thinking of this so early in my day.
Took me until now to realize that her name was Renee! Good. That gives the shooting itself a spiritual touch.
