I’ve only gone to Mass a couple of times in the past few decades, but the de-ritualized version looks and sounds hollow, and the Peter, Paul and Mary wannabe “music” Sucks.

Find a church where you like the music and get back to regular attendance.

Of course, after confession, receive the Eucharist, which will strengthen you in this endeavor.

I came back from VN in '68 and the first Mass I went to was a Folk Mass. Never again.

At least the Catholic Church has revived some of the pre-Vat II responses: the Nicene Creed, “And with your spirit”, the Communion prayer & others are now pre-Novus Ordo.

JMHO, but I think the MSM & liberals in general are sorely mistaken to claim Pope Francis as one of their own. He ministers in person to the sick & the lame while taking his meals in the common refectory, but that doesn’t make him a socialist revolutionary.

Slightly off topic, but I wish the liturgists would do away with the Sign of Peace. Boy do I wish they would do away with it. That’s the biggest Sixties touchy-feely leftover of all. In 1975 I attended Mass where the priest did not call for the SOP. I asked him why & he replied, “Son, I’m the celebrant. When I say `the peace of the Lord be with you all’, that’s all there is, there ain’t no more!”

Many are mistaken if they think the music is all that needs a-fixing. The New Mass was completely overhauled to make it more modernist and ecumenical. No wonder it looks and sounds hollow.
