The answer is to fight the abuse, to pray for an end to the hippies. Not to doubt the Mother Church in her ability to decide what is the liturgy.
I am not a fan of disrespect or nonsense in any manner. The NO does not have to be synonymous with such.

But it almost has to, Dave. It's not the fact of the vernacular (though that too is harmful, IMO); it's the impoverished ICEL "translations" (relentlessly insipid and fanciful paraphrase is more like it). The very text of the liturgy is an "orgy of casual regard". Though valid, the NO is unholy. It evinces a comprehensive hatred for sanctity, of the unique regard, the latria that should characterise all of our dealings with God. On other forum I have criticised muslims for their servile relationship to a God who withholds intimacy. But it's also an error to conclude that God's our chum and comrade, a Big Buddy on our road to self-discovery.
Please keep in mind the essential communist tactic, employed especially by Mao, of cultural revolution, by which a people are made more malleable and open to radical change by stripping them of their culture and historical memory.
