It's that sense of antiquity that impresses Gammel, a sophomore at Grayslake High School. "The fact that it's ancient gives it a sense of importance," she said. "I feel like I can defend the tradition with confidence."

This is a very important point. Who can defend a guitar Mass, who would want to?? Who wants to defend Father comparing the starving poor to a neglected flower? Young people don't need the Mass reduced to this "lowest common denominator" nonsense so many "forward" thinking Catholics have shoved down the throats of the reast of us. Why was the beauty of centuries replaced with such mediocrity and worse? To become holy you need to be reminded of what is important...God. People help the poor and do good deeds when they come closer to God. I don't understand what seems to be the attitude of so many liberal Catholics that you must embrace socialism to find God.

Well put, Diva!
