Horror of horrors, the priest "functioned as lector". Has it really come to this? Do even the uber modernist/heretic NCR sycophants fail to see the connection with the astounding  dip in Mass attendance {BTW, the vast majority of studies peg pre 1965 Mass attendance at closer to 75%} with the first step {i.e. the 1965 hybrid missal} in the destruction of the traditional Mass, ending with the full blown novus ordo in 1969? You know, the Mass which had sustained saints, martyrs, fathers, doctors, clerics, and laymen for nearly 1500 years? P.S. How can a sacrement, properly confected, ever be characterized as "imperfect"?  NCR {National Catholics Relativists} never ceases to amaze in its blasphemy.
