Why are mass intentions not verbally announced during mass anymore?

[Mphuynh]

At my church, mass intentions are only printed in the bulletin. There are no more verbal acknowledgements either at the start or during the mass. I remember reading somewhere explaining that since mass intentions are spiritual, there is no requirement to saying them aloud. I am confused as to why we have this rule in our catholic faith. If we liken God to a parent, is it enough to slip our parents a piece of paper with a request on it, or would it be better to say our request aloud? Even our catholic mass is not said in our mind, but we sing our praises aloud to God.
So why is it enough for us to just print a special intention in the bulletin, or have our priest just look at the name of the special intention during mass without verbally saying that person’s name or intention aloud? It seems contradictory to my catholic faith teachings. Can you help further explain the reasoning behind this practice?

The Mass intention is the intention of the priest saying the Mass. He has the intention whether he verbally announces it or not.
Some priests don’t like saying the names out loud because they feel it gives the impression that the particular Mass “belongs” to that family. Some priests don’t say the names out loud because they may be in a parish that is different from their ethnicity and they have a difficult time pronouncing the names.
