Those of us old enough to have lived through the scrapping - in most places - of the 1962 Roman Missal can to a certain extent identify with the difficulty of change, although the changes described in the article, and the previous one in NCR, seem picayune in comparison.

But when I read “the trauma destroyed their faith entirely”, I hear “they don’t love their mother anymore because she insisted on stirring their oatmeal clockwise rather than counter-clockwise”, particularly considering what English Catholics gave to keep the faith alive.

Since you report it to be your “ex” parish, as the folks in this article describe their “ex” parish, I would rather hear from those who remained for a bit of balance.
