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.

Yes, I attended a Catholic High School and the first year in March they have an annual week long retreat at the school where you don't talk during the school day and attend Jesuit lectures between meditative periods and reading.

I found that interesting, but then in the 2nd year Vatican II took hold and it became guitars and poems and folk singing and I thought I was in a Saturday night Episcopal coffee shop.

Then they took away the altar rail, then civilians dispensed communion...it was a huge mistake to be ‘trendy.’

I stopped going to mass when we had two priests in a row who were molesting little boys.

That doesn’t make me hate God. I just don’t like the church.

Vatican II and the feminization and egalitarianism of the Marxist “Gender hierarchy”....the stupid idea that there is no difference between men and women and they need to be treated exactly the same.

The idea of “girl” altar boys-—to make boys feel they are the same as girls. I could go on and on....it is Marxist ideology (progressive/feminism) that is destroying the patriarchy and family unit with the idea that men and women are the same design.....a scientific and stupid notion that is destroying Christianity...which is based on the patriarchy—and God the Father as strength and protector.

The nature of man is vastly different than the nature of women. The Christian churches are in denial and have tried to make men’s nature evil and obsolete and undermine the difference in women’s nature and the need for women to nurture and educate the next generation. All for marxist political correctness and to be “hip” and popular. Homosexual movement culminates in making men and women interchangeable—exactly as the Communist Manifesto wants.....The church adopted vulgar music and language and faddish kumbaya—feminism/earth worship/gaia cr*p. Return to traditional Latin and put some awe, respect, and mystery back into the church and elevate the position of the men and altar boys....no altar girls....it is ridiculous.

There are more and more Latin Masses in the Catholic Church these days. I have my choice of three churches in the Chicago area that offer the Latin Mass each Sunday, and one of these Churches actually offers nothing but Latin Masses. At these Masses they only have altar boys, not girls, and the parishioners do not freely stroll around the altar. We don’t hold hands at the Our Father, and we don’t walk around greeting people for five minutes. We kneel at the altar to receive communion on the tongue, which is handled only by the priest or deacon, and we hear Gregorian Chants at every Mass.
