Can’t understand a thing that’s going on here.

Of course, being a traditional Tridentine Mass adherent I guess I wouldn’t.

That’s the problem with the post-Vatican II Novus Ordo mass in the vernacular: it varies so from country to country (as well as from parish to parish in the US) that when one is visiting it’s impossible to determine what is being said.

I practice my faith at a Maronite Catholic Church. What's so difficult to understand? The child - only 3 - has memorized the prayers, albeit in Spanish, and derives joy in 'celebrating' the mass. We hear his parents give the responses. How different is that from someone with no understanding of Latin, attending a TLM?

Just curious; were you born before or after VC II?
