I'm pretty sure that the translation is against the people. I first heard it refer to the way a priest can face (versus Deum).

I'm not sure how true the second is as a translation, but the first seems to fit.

quik reply...

remember, most of the people there will probly be former catholics.

there are other catholics there.

I will not allow any kind of bashing for either side...strong opinions are fine, and you know I have much love for you, but I will not allow anything I think is out of line...and believe me, I'm pretty fair.

God Bless.

ad hominem = "towards the man" ie attacking the person in the argument and not their points.

ad orientem = "towards the east" either literally, or referring to "liturgical east" ie facing away from the congregation during celebration of the Mass.

peace...
