You certainly have out-posted me, doctor, but if your son is a first communicant, you probably have not out-lived me. In any case, "utroque" is the Latin word for "both", and there is no need for you to get "ad hominem", or shall we say "ad nominem alienum".
I was not trying to make an argument. I found your response about "nostalgia for Justinian's day" a non-sequitur, unless, of course, you are old enough to have lived then.
"...Spiritum Sanctum de Utroque procedentem et in Utroque permanentem, sanctam et individuam Trinitatem, unum Deum omnipotentem."
I am not confused or torn from both sides, but delight in both.
Nostalgia:
2nd definition from Merriam-Webster:
a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for
return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition ; also : something that evokes nostalgia
The definition mentions nothing of actually having lived through the time period. So a person can be and there are many who are yearning for a return to the Glories of Constantinople with a reconquered Hagia Sophia. These people have never lived under the rule of the Emperor of Constantinople.
I also echo Garrett's statement that at the Extraordinary Form that I went to about 10% had gray hair. The rest of the congregants were under 40. Many of them were young parents of 3 or more kids.
I retract the mistake that utroque means pulled from both sides. I don't know why that was posted.
From Lewis and Short:

I pray that you have a holy and blessed Lenten Season.
