When I came back to the Church 15 years ago (I had not gone to mass since 1968), the local parish church that I went to, only had communion between 5 and 6pm on Saturdays, or else “by appointment”. I would go every Saturday, and see like 5 or 6 people there during that hour. The church had like 6 masses with a total of like at least 3000 on Saurday night and Sunday, and practically ALL went to communion. This change from my pre-1968 days surprised me, as I remember back then long lines for confession on Sundays, and that like 33% of the people didn’t go to communion.
A short time later I discovered the Latin Mass and never went back to my local parish. I’m wondering if it is the same all over, that is practically no one goes to confession and evryone gores to communion?
