I don’t like it either. I think revising our mass/church to appeal to modern culture is/was a big error. I think these trends demean the sense of the spiritual. I am so disappointed and have been since Vatican II.

Ditto. I hate to say it, but it's becoming pretty clear that the 'modernists' have regained the upper hand. Looking back, the forces of modernism achieved their greatest successes during the pontificate of Paul VI. JP2 pretty much held the line against the modernists. And B16 even pushed the line back a bit. Now, it's starting to look like 1969 all over again. :(

There's a difference, though. New communications technologies exist, and the traditionalist camp is informed and energized and isn't necessarily going to go down without a fight.

I thought that all that was done and over with by Vatican II.
