text: I agree with you completely.  The Catholic Church has never changed to meet popular culture.  One need only look to the ritual of the church to see that it has never, ever changed, but remains exactly as it was when Jesus initiated it.  To believe otherwise would require that one believe the church, at some point, adopted existing popular culture.  From the use of latin, to the heraldry of the bishops, it is all ancient and dates to day one.
