celebrate on the high altar,

In parishes built after 1965, there is no "high altar."

In most, yes.

But I've visited several churches and chapels (and not SSPX chapels, real chapels) built after 1965 that have high altars.

And they're getting more common - not less.

I didn't know that. Tragic beyond words.

While I don't have any documentation, I would say that more churches were built before 1965 than after 1965.
