Fortunately for most of us, these depredations have not taken place. We may have the N/O Mass, but it reverently celebrated, sometimes even in Latin. We don't sing Amazing Grace and Rock of Ages (nice, but Protestant, of course), The Real Presence is in the tabernacle behind the altar, we receive Communion on the tongue if we wish, we genuflect and kneel, and would be severely out of place if we stood during the Consecration. We have Benediction in Latin. Rosaries are carried everywhere, prayed frequently, and old saints are honored along with new ones.
I'm sorry if you have had some of the bitter experiences you list above, but the real Catholic Church is alive in America in the hearts of those who are willing to drive a few miles to find a reverent, faithful priest. We attended Mass in Wilber NB on Sunday (Lincoln Diocese). The priest announced before Mass that only faithful Catholics with "proper disposition" would be invited up to receive Communion. It was amazing to see how many people stayed in their seats.
I hope you find a good parish and a holy priest. Sounds like you care a lot. God bless.
Just curious. How do those hymns reject Catholic Doctrine?
Kind of shows how many people go out of habit, doesn't it? My brother-in-law usually annouces just before Communion that those Catholics who are not 'ready' to receive can still come up and just cross their arms across their chests and he'll give them a Blessing. And he invites those who are Baptized in other Faiths to do the same, pointing out that he cannot give them Communion because that would mean that they've accepted the teaching of the Catholic Church, and he doesn't 'shanghai' anyone into the Catholic Faith. And he invites them and anyone who is not baptized to come forward for a blessing as well. It is beautiful to see folks who are willing to come up for a Blessing.
