Quite a contrast, huh?

Yes. We're somewhere in between. We get general exhortations to go out and live the Gospel. The problem is, no one has any idea how to "live the Gospel" in modern life, or even what "living the Gospel" means! Ugh!

And then there is the music. The gabbing before Mass. The failure to genuflect before the Tabernacle...

Totally agree.

***"The Catholic Mass is composed of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, but when Catholics speak of “going to Mass” it is chiefly the second they have in mind"****

And add that how many Catholics attending Mass know what the two parts of the Mass are?
