While I certainly agree with Paul's admonition that "All things be done decently and in order", and liturgy certainly should follow suit, by overemphasizing "chalices" (as opposed to "cups") and rubrics derived from royal courts, we lose sight of the scandal of the Incarnation, and run the risk of forgetting the revelation that God truly is "with us".

After all, Mary brought forth her first born (the Word made Flesh) and laid Him in a cattle feeding trough right down there with, I'm sure, the donkey slobber and mouse poop.
