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.

Ultima,

How can you decide why people rush out of church? Are you every person? I've seen some of the people who rush out and believe me Christ and reverence is the last thing on their minds.

You failed to address the issues of why none of these fervent Catholics who love God so much are not found adoring Christ when the Mass is over and the Church is empty except for Our Lord. Also you fail to address how leaving Mass is any different than leaving Jesus while He was hanging on the Cross. This is surely when He needs your adoration most?
