What changes offend your relatives?

I know an Irish Catholic man who rants about "machine gun toting mini-skirted Maryknoll nuns" but he never goes to church anyway.

"What changes offend your relatives?"

I'm really out of my element here, but I've heard yearnings for the return of the Latin mass and the traditional music, disdain for the guitar mass, some grumbing about plain clothes nuns ("stealth nuns" they call them), warm memories of Friday night fish fries and general nostalgia for a time when the church had a greater spiritual infuence in the lives of parishiners. Like I say, I'm not Catholic, and don't know exactly which, if any, of these changes are really the result of Vatican II. It's just what I hear from the family.
