Even when I was a kid I said ughh and complained...a lot...as an altar boy when I was assigned to serve at them.
Same here. They changed from the Latin Mass when I was 7, and then we got the sign of peace and guitar mass and it touchy feely Jesus showed up and bored us all to death.
Too funny! I was thinking the same thing before I read your post.
As a young child in the 1970's, I remember the hippies with their guitars and tamborines doing all the refrains at the Folk Mass. Even at the age of six, I remember disliking it and thinking to myself "there is something wrong here..."
If the premise of this article isn’t drivel, as some have suggested, I think you’ve hit on the problem.
Catholic or Protestant, the Mass or the Lord’s Supper, too many church meetings have drifted away from Christ.
The Lord’s Supper is the gift and work of God, given to the Church as the central organizing principle for corporate worship. It centers us upon the Lord Jesus Christ and Him crucifed, so that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Any church that ignores the Lord by neglecting the Lord’s Supper is bound to become cold. And for Protestants that usally means their worship either drifts into arid moral discourse or it turns to the excess of fleshly exuberance that is the modern praise format centered upon musical entertainment.
