Rush out because they can't stand being near Christ? If the Mass is an abomination as you intimate (and I disagree), then rushing out would be like deserting Christ as He hangs on the cross. That is the time when we most need to lead by example and make up for the sacrileges by honouring and praising Him even more .... not by rushing out the door!!

How many of these early leavers (Judas imitators) make the effort to come and adore Christ when the Church is empty? I think you are simply trying to cover your guilty conscience by making lame excuses!

Wrong. People rush out the door because the new Mass itself is so woefully deficient. It makes a mockery of Catholic beliefs, emulating as it does the Protestant Lord's Supper worship service--exactly as Trent warned we should not do. Any real Catholic who recognizes the theological implication of what's going on would rightly feel offended and would seek to leave as soon as possible once the obligation to attend Mass was literally fulfilled. The fault lies with the faithless churchmen who concocted this abomination and imposed it upon us illicitly.
