This is a good article and I applaud the writer's enthusiasm for the Mass and his love of the Church. 
    I share that with him, even while I cannot in good conscience support with equal enthusiasm participation with such regularity. 
   It is still important to go, for the wider communion with the Church brought about by the Holy Spirit, and those who have left this earth in the friendship of God and now participate in the Beatific vision. Nice. 
  The problem arises when one has experienced first hand Vatican II and recalls the inspired witness of those who gave their lives in the Third world for the sake of justice and the Scriptural themes either used as words for a song verbatim or as inspiration-when one recalls that their was once a Bishop's pastoral on social justice and a Church alive with hope and a future guided by the Holy Spirit-the betrayal that is now the Episcopate and the present verbal truncation of Vatican II initiatives and pastoral directives is numbing.
