RE: What I care about is respect for the mass, expecially the Tridentine mass which this Pope, as a Cardinal in Argentina, eradicated.
OK< what if Francis is not really against the Tridentine mass, but is giving Roman Catholics the choice to attend the kind of mass that edifies them more?

Videos show that he doesn’t genuflect when at the altar.
To quote Ann Barnhardt:
Here is the full video of Pope Francis’ first Mass in the Sistine Chapel.
The consecration of the Host happens at 51:47. The consecration of the Chalice happens at 52:32.
I cannot believe I am about to type these words.
The Pope DID NOT GENUFLECT after either consecration. He did a weird bow thing, but didn’t feel the need to bend his knee to God Almighty, physically present in his hands upon the altar.
HE. DID. NOT. GENUFLECT.
This is absolutely stunning. And unprecedented.
...He FREELY CHOOSES to not reverence Our Lord in the Eucharist upon the altar.

Oh, we are in deep, deep trouble.

As a Roman Catholic, I will make my choice and attend Cathoic mass at Eastern Cathoic rite churches, probably Ukrainian.
It was done away with in Vatican II.
When people are more Catholic than the Pope, watch out.
