I’m trying go get my girls to know that even if we sing showtunes and everyone is talking, Jesus is still there.

Maybe, maybe not. If the liturgical abuses extend to invalid sacraments, I'd say not.

This is true, but I know enough about abuses vs. innovations.

If we, by chance, attend a mass with abuses so bad that I feel it is invalid, we are blessed to have a Sunday 8:30pm at our home parish. We just pack up and go later.

We have such a reverent and complete Holy Mass at my parish, that my daughters would participate elsewhere and state that they wanted to go to that later Mass at home. I have to teach them that holding hands and Altar girls do not make an invalid Mass. However, walking into a parish with brown, flaky bread IS invalid.

It teaches them humility to understand that eventhough they didn’t “enjoy” the Mass, it’s really not about them.
