Some folks think the Liturgy belongs to them (personally) ... and they can do whatever they want with it.
The Church teaches that the Liturgy belongs to the Church ... and even the Local Ordinary hasn't the right to monkey with it.

True, true.
And some of the laity think it’s their own little slice of Broadway. From the soloist to the Cantor who feels a need to “raise up” the congregation (as if we can’t look in the missal or listen for the organ to cue us), it’s a giant show.
We even went to a Parish in Ft Lauderdale that had the church darken and a spotlight on the altar for the consecration. Help me.
