Ideally it would be. Practically... any mumble over the format seems to be accepted as a “Mass” because after all isn’t the view here that the “important thing” is the “transubstantiation miracle”? There’s room for improvement. There’s a reason you don’t usually get mumbles in Crazy Evangelical churches.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. If you mean Catholics mumble through Mass, I would say we pray more quietly and less ostentatiously than others.
