So he's not banned and people still feed him by posting in his threads. And people defend him against those bringing up the incident? Lol...

Why don't you just leave Denil ALONE!?!!?!!!!!

no, seriously. he makes weird posts from time to time, but most of them are rather interesting. I'm actually quite impressed by his ability to create a fake person and create such a ruckus over all the fallout.

Should have been more of a lesson for those thinking the internet offers real social contact, but I guess that passed over those that were truly hurt by it.

Then again, I wasn't there, so.....meh. :\

That is the chancel part of the choir, where the current altar is. The main altar is in the sanctuary at the back of the choir. Nowadays a new altar in the chancel is used so the priest can face the congregation (whereas using the main altar way at the back in olden times meant he had often his back to the people). The benches are for the choir (people who sing), other clergy and the altar boys. However, by the time I was around in the 60s, the choir was singing mostly from beside the organ, way at the back of the church. The fence separating the choir from the nave is called a balustrade. Up to the early 70s, that is where we went to kneel to receive communion in our mouth from the priests who stood behind it. Now the priest stands in front of it in the transect at the front of the nave and people receive communion in their hands while standing.

Thank you Dennil. This information is interesting and I had never thought to look it up before. There is a lot of vocabulary and many nice pictures.
