The last pope was a failure and the only thing he did was change the words of the mass which still pisses me off every Sunday. That horrid Pope had no right to change the words to the mass that I had for 45 years.

I am so sorry that you are angry at Mass every week. Our Lord does not wish that anger for you, He gives His Peace to you if you choose to receive It.

As for the word change which causes you such emotion, Pope Benedict desired the New Mass to be brought much closer to the approved Latin translation. It was disobedient liberals who brought you that 45 year English version. The new iteration restores some depth and meaning and he was well within his rights to bring accuracy and tradition back to the Mass.

Anger is a bit hyperbole. But I went to 13 years of Catholic School (K included) and we were tested and tested on the mass and we had the entire mass memorized. Now I still can’t keep up with the changes. Latin was great when it was used for the Mass (I never experienced it) but Latin is no longer used so why not keep our great mass that we had.
