I love the NO as i grew up with it. I love it, it is beautiful and still transcendent. However, The NO tends to lend itself to abuse, unfortunatley, as the rubrics arent as objective as the EF was (at least, thats my theory). Im sure they were abuses with the EF, but not as many, no changing the words. No altar girls, no COMMUNION on the hand etc. I have nothing against girls, and i dont think it is exclusive. People will say that because girls should get into the liturgy too, i dont think so. I may sound exclusive, im not trying to be, but whats next, oh well, we dont want women excluded, so lets let them become Priests? Women have a very critical life in the Church, always had, always will. We should thank them for their awesome contributions (Mother Angelica, i love you!!!), but feminism has ruined the dignity of womanhood, and in the process, manhood. The Liturgy is the one area where secularism doesnt get it, i want to keep it that way. So please, Lets move back to Tradition, Lets not become protestants. Watering down HOLY MASS, doesnt help the Faithful. HOLY MASS, both forms and both rites (EF and NO, and Eastern and Western repsectvley) are very potent, lets keep it at full strength. Holy Mother Church has always weathered the world, lets not fit in, WE ARE FROM THE WORLD, BUT NOT OF IT!! Im a Catholic, my country is Heaven, my sovereign is JESUS CHRIST, my head of state is The Pope and my officials are the Bishops and Cardinals of the Magesterium. My guidebook and moral code is the Holy Bible, and my rulebook is the Cathecism of the Catholic Church. So please remember, Sacred Scripture, Magesterium and TRADITION!!!
