Dear OSMOND
I fear you have sensibilities too sensitive; you are on a forum attempting to engage in discussion & debate. I would also suggest you look up the word ‘hyperbole’.
You may state I AM WRONG and feel offended but that really doesn’t ‘cut the mustard’. The current Pope himself referred to the Novus Ordo as “BANAL”.
I state that the Novus Ordo is a ‘sibling’ to the horrors & stupidity we have seen in our ‘formerly’ great Catholic institutions. I can not give specifics here & now–(I am sure others can)–but in recent decades unthinkable lectures which violate the church’s teaching have been allowed; liberal groups & thinking which violate the principles of our Church have even been encouraged. Did not the Pope on his recent visit attempt to address this with a gathering of Catholic University Presidents?
Look at our latest versions of the Bible. Once again, instead of appealing to the best in our society, we—in a very liberal manner—dumb-down the wording until some of it sounds like one is reading a newspaper article. Some of it seems that it has been reworded, not to reflect the wonderful glory of God as revealed in Scripture, but to appeal to functional illiterates. Take a look at our current Psalm 23 and compare it to the King James version. What inspires the heart & soul more??? As a respectful act to the dead, I always collect the small ‘memorial cards’ which are placed near the guest book. EVERY CATHOLIC wake which I have gone to has used the King James version for the 23rd Psalm. It seems that those in grief are concerned with reverant words for their loved one.
WHAT’S next----a movement to remove the word ROMAN from the name of our Church? We already, for all intents & purposes removed our liturgical language.
I’ll be happy to bring my ‘SAX’ to your next Mass; it may liven-up the crowd. If this offends you-----TOO BAD!

). As for the most major loss in the NO is the lack of silence. Every Catholic should know when Jesus has just come onto the altar so now is the time for silent prayer, awe and adoration.
