Luxury and "self-indulgent" grandiosity are acceptable when attempting to glorify the Lord and convey religious messaging! I don't think God's ever worried about being over the top when he appears in blinding flashes of light or blows people's minds with unfathomable majesty -shouldn't our praise reflect that?

Whoa. Beethoven is modern to you? In Protestantism we have things like Hillsong and The David Crowder Band.

Here's every neo-Charismatic worship song ever.

*oh yeah praise Him is rhymed with hands two times in the chorus*

*chorus repeats to make sure everyone figures out the lyrics*

*a reference to penal substitutionary atonement so the two members of the congregation who have memorized the entirety of Calvin's Institutes don't send us angry letters*

that is because the algorithm you use and the algorithm we use are different, so different results with different calendars end up with the same day because the differences cancel out. with fixed feasts that won't happen

Christ is present throughout the liturgy, in spirit. So are angels, who celebrate with the priest. Christ is present symbolically in the liturgy; for instance, the priest symbolizes him (in fact, the entire universe is present symbolically in the liturgy, and that is manifest in the architecture of the church, Rodrigo Diaz has a link to an article about that). Christ is present mystically in the flesh in the liturgy, in Communion.

This is called the kettledrum mass or Missa in tempore belli but people aren't really sure why:

Wikipedia posted:

This piece has been long thought to express an anti-war sentiment, even though there is no explicit message in the text itself, and no clear indication from Haydn that this was his intention. What is found in the score is a very unsettled nature to the music, not normally associated with Haydn, which has led scholars to the conclusion that it is anti-war in nature. This is especially noticed in the Benedictus and Agnus Dei. During the time of the composition of the Mass, the Austrian government had issued a decree in 1796, that "no Austrian should speak of peace until the enemy is driven back to its customary borders."[2] Whether this is enough to call it anti-war in nature is certainly debatable because most of the mass is of a lyrically joyful nature.

It's post Mozart though so not suitable for HEGEL.

For Catholics, Christ is present in spirit as He is whenever Christians gather together in HIs name. He's also symbolically present in visual representation, since there's always a crucifix involved. He's symbolically present in the priest as well, who acts in persona Christi during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Finally and most importantly, of course, He's fully and literally present, with His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, in the Blessed Sacrament. Note that Catholics hold Christ to be fully present under both species of the Eucharist: I have a friend who has celiac disease and therefore can only receive under the form of wine, but we hold that he fully receives the Body of Christ as well when he does so. The same would hold true for somebody who, perhaps because of past struggles with alcohol, only wants to receive under the form of bread: that person would still receive the Blood of Christ, even though Latin Rite Catholics don't practice communion by intinction.

Most churches here only offer communion with a wafer/eucharist-the wine is only taken by the priest. I assume it also covers situations like this.

Right, celebrating the end of winter is weird when there's parts of the US where it snows in June and parts of the US where it not only doesn't snow, it never even gets cold enough to try. So we don't do that. Our "dress up in racist costumes" holiday is Thanksgiving, when a bunch of white kids make feather headdresses out of construction paper and vests out of grocery bags and pretend to be Native Americans sharing food with their best friends the Pilgrims.

That's because of codified tradition: Communion sub utraque specie, i.e. both bread and wine had grown rare for various reasons (most prominently practical ones: back then laypeople received Communion only a couple of times throughout the year, and the number of communicants was so large during those days that people were afraid of accidentally spilling the wine) already by the Middle Ages. The Council of Constance forbade giving the chalice to laypeople in 1415 as a reaction to the Hussite demand that Communion under both kinds should in fact be made obligatory, though the moderate Hussite faction of the Utraquists eventually reunited with Rome and gained the special privilege of receiving both Flesh and Blood. (As an aside, the Holy Roman Emperor kept the privilege of receiving sub utraque on special days throughout the year, as did the King of France on the days of his coronation and on his deathbed. The Austro-Hungarian monarchs kept the privilege of receiving the chalice on Maundy Thurday until 1918!). The Second Vatican Council repealed the ban of Constance, encouraging Catholics instead to receive both Flesh and Blood when possible. This seems to be one of the liturgical reforms of V2 that didn't really make it, though: in my experience (as in yours apparently) the vast majority of parishes don't bother with that, giving out both only on Maundy Thursday or on other special occasions.

Due to the historical aversion towards giving the chalice to the laity, Catholic theologians developed the doctrine of "concomitance" which means what Bel Canto said: no matter which one of the Eucharistic species you receive, Christ is wholly present in both, so receiving only the bread (or only the wine) is absolutely sufficient
