I would agree to be patient with your new priest, and perhaps most important, is to pray. But, would it be inappropriate to ask the priest why he omitted the Gloria and the Creed? By asking him directly, you could eliminate any speculation. If it is nerves, it should diminish and eventually go away. If it is ignorance, than your question may serve as a catalyst for further study. If it is disobedience, it will only get worse.
It would seem that Liturgical Abuse is very common, but in the recent document
Redemptionis Sacramentum, liturgical abuse is taken very seriously.
“31. In keeping with the solemn promises that they have made in the rite of Sacred Ordination and renewed each year in the Mass of the Chrism, let Priests celebrate “devoutly and faithfully the mysteries of Christ for the praise of God and the sanctification of the Christian people, according to the tradition of the Church, especially in the Eucharistic Sacrifice and in the Sacrament of Reconciliation”.
[71] They ought not to detract from the profound meaning of their own ministry by corrupting the liturgical celebration either through alteration or omission, or through arbitrary additions.”
Additionally, concerning the Eucharist Prayer:
“51. Only those Eucharistic Prayers are to be used which are found in the Roman Missal or are legitimately approved by the Apostolic See, and according to the manner and the terms set forth by it. “It is not to be tolerated that some Priests take upon themselves the right to compose their own Eucharistic Prayers”
[129] or to change the same texts approved by the Church, or to introduce others composed by private individuals.
[130]”
Concerning the alteration of the Liturgy:
“59. The reprobated practice by which Priests, Deacons or the faithful here and there alter or vary at will the texts of the Sacred Liturgy that they are charged to pronounce, must cease. For in doing thus, they render the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy unstable, and not infrequently distort the authentic meaning of the Liturgy.”
“169. Whenever an abuse is committed in the celebration of the sacred Liturgy, it is to be seen as a real falsification of Catholic Liturgy. St Thomas wrote, “the vice of falsehood is perpetrated by anyone who offers worship to God on behalf of the Church in a manner contrary to that which is established by the Church with divine authority, and to which the Church is accustomed”.
[278]”
It certainly is a tragedy that this occurs. Pope John Paul II tells us that:
“184. Any Catholic, whether Priest or Deacon or lay member of Christ’s faithful, has the right to lodge a complaint regarding a liturgical abuse to the diocesan Bishop or the competent Ordinary equivalent to him in law, or to the Apostolic See on account of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff.
[290] It is fitting, however, insofar as possible, that the report or complaint be submitted first to the diocesan Bishop. This is naturally to be done in truth and charity.”
Good luck and Peace be with you.
