[ultima ratio]

One final word. Much has been said about how we have lost the sense of the sacred with the Novus Ordo Mass. I think there are many reasons for this, but chief among them has got to be the fact that the new liturgy is just too talky. It never shuts up. When the assembly is not giving responses, it's called upon to sing. It's always in action without a letup. So eager were the liturgists to have the faithful "participate actively" that they have eliminated any chance the assembly might have had for real prayerful interiority. Instead everything is superficial and external, with very litte chance for deep spirituality.
