To begin with I just read your comment and had nothing to do with your former response getting deleted. I certainly don't get offended over matters of taste in regard to the liturgy wars (which I couldn't care less about).

1. I assume you mean by not "catholic" the abandonment of a universal language. Shrug. It seems most Catholics appreciate an active role in the liturgy and being able to understand what's being said.

2. <<We know that the new mass was created to get prots into the church.>> We do? Please fill me in on this background.

Since I have self-exiled from the Catholic Church and now attend Episcopal services I concede that the NO and the Episcopal service are virtually indistinguishable, except for the woman priest (HOORAY) and dipping the Eucharist into the wine. Further, the Episcopalians recite the pre-Latinate version of the Nicene Creed, thanks be to God.

By the way, are you a priest?
