ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Liturgical struggle

So, a liturgical struggle is like when two groups of people have different ideas about how to have religious ceremonies. It's like if you really like vanilla ice cream but your friend likes chocolate. You both want ice cream, but you can't agree on what flavor to have.

In a liturgical struggle, the disagreement might be about things like what words to say, what kind of music to play, or what actions to do during the ceremony. Sometimes these disagreements can get pretty big and people might even split into different groups because they can't agree on how to do things.

It's kind of like when you're playing a game with your friends and you can't agree on the rules. It can be frustrating, but it's important to try to work together and find a solution so everyone can enjoy the game (or the religious ceremony).
