the catholic mass has become a hippy love-in---a piano jammin' stupid freak show with the tabernacle removed from the center focal point on the altar to a secondary position on the sidelines. God has taken a back seat to man and his selflove

Mel Gibson is an honerable man and i think one of the reasons women LOVE mel is because he LOVES HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN---HE IS THE KIND OF MAN WOMEN WANT

Hey, you're lucky your tabernacle is at least "on the sidelines". Our parish built a new church and the tabernacle is in a seperate room, door closed during mass. For me, the symbolism of this is just awful, kind of like kicking Christ out of the church and closing the door on him; as if he has nothing to do with what is going on at mass.

What you say is extremely true...but having the mass in Latin, the language of the Caesars, won't help.

Some of the new monstrosities that pass for houses of worship have moved the tabernacle completely out of the sanctuary into a small enclave.

People genuflect towards the main altar completely unaware that such reverence is to be directed towards the tabernacle.

When they enter the "sanctuary" they continue to visit and talk in loud voices until the organ and choir commences singing the recessional which is customarily an old protestant hymn. I thank God for those old hymns and the occasional homily that deals with those forbidden subjects: sin and hell.

Correction: In some areas, the Mass has become etc.

Liturgical abuse may be widespread, but is far from uniformly distributed.
