I understand that you find the traditional Latin Mass more pleasing and that it is your personal preference. I do not believe that changing the language the mass is said in, etc., is contrary to the teachings of Christ.
I think a humble gathering of the devout worshipping in their own language - Aramaic - is exactly what happened at the Last Supper.
Thus, I do see some irony in Gibson's simultaneously making a movie where Christ speaks in the vernacular, but attending a church where the priest does not.
But I don't think it's any big deal. I am comfortable with the mass in English and the other changes made in Vatican II. I was very young when they occurred, don't have much invested in the old status quo.

But vatican II did not direct ripping out altar rails, removing religious statues, turning around the altar, and introducing "profane" music to services. This is part of what I am referring to as traditional Catholic worship practices.
