Most of t...I would have to agree with you Tribunus. Most of the time we endure the mass for the real presence and try to ignore the banality and stupidity. It is shaming and belittling. However there are some priests who do their best to make the NOM as dignified as it can be. I have known a few myself. The form is the problem. It does not lend itself to dignity and holiness. Childish and stupid is exactly how I would describe it. I think you were very lucky to have a good advisor and a the grace to be able to identify and reject nonsense when you see it. I was going to mass for years, chastising myself for this or that thought that this stupid form threw up, whether it be the inane responses, asinine prayers, the up down kneel, up down kneel distractions and the incredibly stupid music. I thought I was being hypocritical. I now go to the Tridentine in the main and all is peaceful thanks be to God. <BR/><BR/>BenfanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-37216133949187494562008-02-21T08:41:00.000+00:002008-02-21T08:41:00.000+00:00No, not harsh but truthful.See my comments in the ...No, not harsh but truthful.<BR/><BR/>See my comments in the next post.Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-84580587224893355502008-02-18T22:25:00.000+00:002008-02-18T22:25:00.000+00:00Tribunus, I agree with what you say about the poor...Tribunus, I agree with what you say about the poor translations and some of the banal stuff... but, while I definitely prefer the extraordinary form, the Novus Ordo Mass <I>can</I> be celebrated with reverence, dignity and love... and the Real Presence is there too. Many people have only ever experienced the Novus Ordo, and I feel you are being a little harsh.Mulier Fortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186202810919174492noreply@blogger.com
