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.

Not sure what we're arguing about. You prefer the mass in Latin, I like it just fine in English. You like altar rails, I don't miss them. I like being able to watch the priest's face rather than his back, but the other way was OK, too.

I just don't think the things you are talking about are important enough to get worked up over, much less walk away from your religion.
