It would probably be worthwhile to suggest a(friendly) discussion between the "Anglican Use" Catholics, conservative Catholics of the Adoremus style, and Catholic traditionalists about why they prefer a more formal, solemn, and reverent style of worship for their Catholic faith.

For whatever reason, in the wake of Vatican II, a very folksy, informal style of worship creeped in from popular American culture where the congregation essentially comports itself like the studio audience of a TV talk show. I find this to be very distracting and unsettling for a Catholic Mass. I don't consider it extremist NOT to like the informal folksy "pop" Catholicism of much of "the Spirit of Vatican II."

The only word that consistently pops into my mind whenever I think of the N.O. Mass is 'silly'. I still have a mental image from the back of the church seeing the entire congregation shaking hands, hugging, waving, and smiling at the 'sign of peace'. I can remember thinking to myself "What would a person who is here praying for a recently deceased spouse/son/daughter, grieving, feel at this moment? What if he/she could not dredge up the silly phony smile that is demanded of him/her by the silly priest at this exact moment?". The N.O. Mass is not a Mass. It is a silly communal ho-down. I can also still picture the little girls carrying the 'gifts', the lady with the miniskirt reading the epistle of St. Paul, the silly old ladies dishing out the Hosts like potato chips and making the sign of the cross over little kids, "On Eagles Wings",..........Sorry Howie, I got carried away there. I forgot, it's a valid Mass and the TLM is not really needed.
