Thanks Tom for your reflection which deeply resonated with me.  I too have found much of the present institutional church desires to keep the People of God at a child-level of faith.  I am confounded by young  and newly ordained who have this fascination with the Medieval Tridentine Mass and are so wrapped up in the rubrics of ritual that they totally MISS the relational aspect of celebrating Mass. How do you share about having a relationship with God and how do you share about what your relationship with God calls you to do for others, when all they want to do is preside at Latin Mass and make sure they hold up the host with the correct fingers?
