As a new Catholic, I know I have been naïve about a number of things. One of them was assuming that at Mass at most churches on any given Sunday, I would hear a list of funny names like Linus, Cletus, Clement, and Sixtus within the Eucharistic Prayer.
At the parish where my family and I were received and confirmed, our priest uses Prayer I, or the Roman Canon, every time. I know there are other options, but I had no idea until recently they were used more frequently than their forebear. I should have known better.
