Tacky is in the eye of the beholder . I LOVE folk music AND I love the simplicity of the "new" Mass. Yes, I am college and graduate school educated and yes I took music apprec  in college. I like classical music. BUT FOR ME, the Latin Mass brings back a lot a very bad memories. I happen to like SOME of the "Protestant"  hymns. They meant and mean more to me than a   bunch of meaningless Latin chant that I had to memorize as a kid and sing at a Mass I was forced to go to. I go to Mass NOW, NOT because I HAVE to, but because I want to.  A lot of young people also think PBR is good beer, too. So what do they know?  I grew up during the supposed "Golden Age" of American Catholocism and I wouldn't go back to that time for anything.
