would that be hyperliteralism in the sacraments or an extrabiblical papacy that claims the vicar or Christ? (despite the fact a number of popes were dirtbags), or a mass spoken in a dead language that no one can understand?
No disrespect meant, but how hard did you look?
Uh huh..........
Actually, I always believed that Christ instituted the sacraments, and that the pope is His representative on earth. These things are supported by Scripture, even by protestant bibles. Now, the last thing, is a different story. The so-called "new mass" was the by-product of the Vatican II council. It may have made easier for people to worship since it was always in the local language, but it took away the true meaning behind the Mass: just as the Jews of the Old Testament had their own sacrificial rituals, the Church of the New Testament had to have something along those lines as well - after all, proper sacrifice is necessary to make worship truly pleasing to God.
There is a lot of symbolism in the Mass that the "new mass" took away. Not only that, the new theology which came from Vatican II de-emphasized true morality, introduced ideas not even some "liberal" Catholics would accept (like all religions are equal and can lead to salvation). . . and plenty of other stuff that may take volumes to write about. . . but basically, Vatican II really started a new religion which I couldn't be a part of any longer.
