Purely IMO, we Catholics need to start getting serious about bringing Good News of the Kingdom of God to a world in desperate trouble, and quit spending so much time and energy dickering over the fine points of our own rituals.
I assure you, the rest of the world, to whom we should be delivering this message, looks at us as some sort of a weird cliquish cult.
On our last day are we going to face our Heavenly Father and tell him “yes, but we preserved the liturgy in something closer to it’s pre-Vatican II form”?
"Lex orandi, lex credendi." This whole article makes the point that liturgy matters. More importantly, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is not like any other "church service", especially not a "preaching service." Those folks are going to think we're weird even if we Protestantize the Mass to the nth degree.
Worrying about what others may think is unhelpful and wrong.
