A good day, liturgically: two ... er ... what we now call "trans" people. And S Pancras! I once put into the Anglican ORDO I compile a suggestion that S Pancras should be "in the Railway Station, Double of the First Class with a common octave".
The point was made that this is non-inclusive because it affords no place to women clergy or to London's fine Underground network. How about "si episcopa [flaminica?] praeest, processionaliter descenditur ad imos manes seu Plutonis ipsius regna ..."
In North America, one could have nice alliterative rubrics starting "In Magno Malo ..."
I think that Nereus and Achilleus being eunuchs would not be "trans" but "asexual" i.e. identified by the letter A in the LGBTQIA+ alphabet soup of modern gender/sexual identification rather than the T. This begs the important question for today's society: what pronouns would they use? One hopes where they are now such questions are no longer relevant as we would be "like the angels".

John Patrick.
ReplyDeleteIt does not "beg the question." It raises the question.
John Patrick: one hopes - nay, expects - that their chosen pronouns would be in the neuter. Such an otherwise rigid and indietrist language as Latin at least permits that. Well, kinda...
