To: Grey Ghost II
And what did Vatican II get us? I moved to the suburbs (unrelated to Vatican II) and guitar masses, and tambourines, and people who were very impressed with their ability to sing folk songs during a Catholic Mass.

The climax came when our parish installed a horse trough (purchased from Farm and Fleet) to do immersion baptisms to folk songs. That was the end of the line for me. I told my wife that I could not attend Mass at "Our Lady of Mr. Ed" and haven't set foot in that church since.

Love the religion, but the church surrounding it needs a lot of work.

V II allowed those who wanted to change to Church into a Humanist organization free rein to do so. In your case it was a classic "look at me, look at me" series of events. This is why I go to the Latin Mass.
