The priest who wrote this is an idiot. Where was he when we were being treated to “clown Masses” during the 70s & 80s? Where was he when the number of people going to Holy Comunion was rising but the number of people who believed that Christ was truly present in the sacrament of the Altar was astronomically low? True or False: The Mass of Paul VI has given us more people attending Mass on Sunday, an active apostolate, increases in vocations to the priesthood and religious life? No, Father, your new-fangled Mass has seen the deconstruction of our Church which is just what Satan wanted. When the priest has his back to the people while praying the Canon of the Mass two things likely: 1. people realize that they are NOT the center of attention; God is and 2. the Mass is a re-enactment of the SACRIFICE of the Son in whom we are baptized to the Father. Why is this important? Because Christ came to be OUR sacrifice in atonement for our sins. We deserved death; Christ took the blows for us. That is what the Mass is. Of course in a world where sin no longer exists (hence no one goes to confession) then the Sacrifice of Christ to the Father on our behalf is irrelevant. Instead we only need Sunday pep rallies hosted by Father
