Then why not drop all rubrics and bring in the beer and hookers? You’d attract lots of non-Christians ripe for conversion that way /sarc
I am currently reading an article on liturgical abuses and it points out early on that some contemporary abuses are serious enough to invalidate the Mass (due to lack of proper form, I guess).
Because the bare minimum standard for technical validity is the wrong approach to take. we should be asking ourselves what's the most and best we can do, not the least and shabbiest. I'm sure you agree.
I have no doubt that some abuses are grave enough to invalidate. Mixing honey or other foreign matter (non wheat flour) into the bread dough. Using "creative" words at the consecration.
