Consider this -- you wouldn't find too many references to the feudal system, or slavery, or many other contemporary Middle Age social issues in the Missale Romanum now, would you?

Since that document is concerned with liturgical rites such as the eucharist, I wouldn't expect it to. Or does it address itself to social reform as well? You're comparing chalk and cheese. The Upanishads are not liturgical documents.

The Vedas are -- which is what your citation from Wikipedia mentioned.

Ah, right. Well, sorry if my quote that shifted the discussion to the liturgical differences between Hindu and Catholic culture. In a discussion about the Upanishads and samsara, it seems irrevelant.

Perhaps you have some thoughts about samsara.
