By feelings, I mean the sensibilities of those people, especially the elderly, whose whole devotional life was tossed out of the window. The churches were stripped, and sometimes deformed. The "look," the "feel" or atmosphere of the churches changed. Quiet turned to noise. Elegence was replaced by tackiness. The bad music (in most churches) was replaced by awful guitar music. etc. I must admit that I myself was not appreciative of their loss of the past, because, naively, I thought that the reforms would becomes refined and improved. They only got worse.

No doubt what you are saying, but there is a larger problem within the Church that you are completely missing, the battle against liberalism.

Those within the Church who were/are "attached" to liberalism, have been a scourge for years. Popes have condemned it since the 1800's, and it came to fruition once the "New Order" mass was established.

I recommend reading some of the past encyclicals by Leo XIII, or St. Pius X, who spoke out against liberalism infecting the church. It goes far beyond feelings or sensibilities.

I agree with all that you said in post #27.

I want my real Mass back.
