Mass isn't celebrated "to the people" or "to the wall",but to God through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.

I heard a quote somewhere from the pope, when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, that the ad populum orientation was one of the biggest mistakes of Vatican II. Rather than worshiping along with the priest, people now tend to see the priest as master of ceremonies, a fact which some priests like to encourage.
