I don't know how to even start to respond to this. I can understand a lot of what you said here, and what you have said, but the rest... I don't know. What do you mean they have eliminated genuflections? Other than a very few exceptions, every priest I have observed during the Novus Ordo Mass has genuflected after repeating the Lord's Words at the Last Supper, and raising the consecrated Host and chalice. In regards to receiving Communion, I personally have been receiving Eucharist on the tongue for some time now. Reading an article someone had posted about St. Thomas Aquinas' teaching about the Eucharist and that only consecrated hands should handle it convinced me even more, since I have a great respect for this Doctor of the Church. I don't see any shift of focus away from the Eucharist and to Christ's virtual presence in the Scripture and on the assembly, other than the shift of the priest facing the congregation instead of the back wall of the sanctuary. Please give me a clear-cut example of dogma being subverted to cowtow to Protestantism. I think this is more due to bad religious instruction than anything else.

You know, I don't know where to start either. If you are not aware of the enormous difference between the new Mass-- which Klaus Gamber has called a tragic break with Tradition--and the old Mass, I can't briefly summarize it for you other than to say the New Mass is a serious threat to the Faith of any Catholic. I will do so, however, at a later time. I'm pretty much worn out, going at this since this morning--and neglecting so much else.
