Grew up with the Latin Mass and, at the prompting of someone in this forum, returned for a visit last summer. Like a trip through a time machine. Didn't like it back then or now. It is a non participatory mass, where the priest performs the actions and the altar servers give the responses. I need to be a part of the mass, saying the responses, singing the music (NOT the contemporary stuff), and responding to Christ in the Eucharist.
The mass I most want to attend is the one on EWTN. It retains ALL of the reverance associated with the Tridentine mass, while following the format of the Novus Ordo.
I hope you get what you want. But please don't denigrate or deny other Catholics' choice of Mass. Likewise, what doesn't work for you does work for others and they have just as much of a right to it as you do.
That being said, a day is coming when N.O. afficionados will have to travel for the Mass like Indult attendees do now. The numbers in the seminaries support this.
You don't consider praying "participatory"? Do you attend Mass in order to be entertained or amused?
"martha, Martha, you are busy with many things. Mary has chosen the better part, and it shall not be taken from her." (Only it has been.)
"Non-participatory?" From the time I was 12 and started attending daily Mass, I felt utterly at one in worship with the Mass and the congregation during the Tridentine Mass. In the Novus Ordo, I feel constantly distracted and jostled. (I try to offer it up.)
I need to be a part of the mass, saying the responses, singing the music (NOT the contemporary stuff), and responding to Christ in the Eucharist.
Maybe you should consider joining a little theater group.
