:'''3)''' The testimony of Fr. Paul Schneirla, Subdn. Benjamin Andersen, and others carries more weight and makes more sense that whatever semantic argument you are making; I flatly can't decipher it. Otherwise, we are left with your illogical view that Met. PHILIP authorized the first edition of the SASB in 1989, unauthorized it in 1995 by making the OM "the exclusive use of our Archdiocese," then re-authorized the SASB (version 2.0) the following year. The unchanging testimony of AWR Vicar General Fr. Paul Schneirla makes more sense, particularly given that he knows what he's talking about.
:As the moderator agrees the AWRV made all recommended changes to the approved Hours and Liturgy, this argument has run its course, and devolved from misinformation and semantics to farce. I hope the mods are spared 13 edits to this Talk page in the next 24 hours.--[[User:Willibrord|Willibrord]] 04:56, August 7, 2008 (UTC)
Whatever may be the case, all these testimonies, in order to be considered for inclusion in an article on a controversial topic, have to be documented in a published, third-party, secondary source. In other words, it is not enough that any of us read or listen to a primary source and then write about it. It must be that we are summarizing someone else's research. "So-and-so says" does not merit inclusion.
And please, once again, Father Benjamin, tone it down. Phrases like "What an odd post," "your illogical view," "devolved from misinformation and semantics to farce," etc., are not reflective of a commitment to engage the arguments without attacking those making them. Although no one of your comments recently has been above the top, the preponderance of them over time is resulting in your being issued an official warning.
BTW, you've several times on this Talk page accused others of engaging in edit warring. The nature of an edit war is that it takes at least two to tango. (Though I suppose the metaphor breaks down when it's more than two!) I honestly haven't been much enthused about the behavior of hardly anyone who's been materially engaged with this article in recent months. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
