Women at the Podium...shake hands with your neighbor, a geetar...No more statues...I quit when this all started and I’m glad I did. It is no longer a place of peace and quiet...they’ve turned the Mass into a social event.

I was suspicious of a 2000 year old religion that thought it needed to change anything . I mean hadn’t they worked it all out by then?

I quit when this all started and I’m glad I did. I'd rather fight than quit. That's what the martyrs did.

Exactly. The Priest became a mere observer instead of leading the people to Christ

You lasted longer than I did. Left when Latin wasn’t used. I studied Latin for a couple of years at college, glorious language that carries the mystery of consecration far better than English..
No more statues?
If I want a social event church, I have three within walking distance, one with very nice people and a smart minister.

Left when Latin wasn’t used. So where did you go after you left?

How can anyone who understands truly the Eucharist, and who loves Jesus, ever leave the Church? Like St. Peter said, To whom should we go? (Jn 6:68). Peace.

The Holy Spirit will cause a decline once people become born again from above. That’s what happened to me. The discernment of the Holy Spirit.
To: Old Yeller
The Holy Ghost needs to use “discernment”?
You sound like Pope Francis and his unholy “sin-nods”.

Two thousand twenty five years old. I was 9 when that rumination flitted thru my brain. All these years later I still don’t get it.

No more statues?Sometimes it's not possible; but that didn't keep these young men from "leaving", like you have done. They were not only U.S. soldiers, they were soldiers of Christ.
This last photo, above, is of Catholic Mass with soldiers from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment in Badula Qulp, Afghanistan (February 21st, 2010)
The Mass was not in Latin and there were no statues; but these men did not leave as you have.
