It doesn’t bother me so much. More offended by the Pope’s radical left politics.

I know the uber Catholic traditionalists will hate for saying this, but I have no problem with hearing Mass in English, receiving Holy Communion in my hand, greeting people with a handshake after the Our Father...but it’s the way I raised. And I have no issue with women having their feet washed on Holy Thursday.

I didn’t have a problem with it either, because it’s the way I was raised.

But I’ve been in traditional parishes now for over a decade, and these changes do have a cumulative effect of desacralizing the liturgy. It’s hard to explain unless you get used to the older rite.

Well, except for Mass in English. I think Mass in English makes sense, although it should be “high” English and not to the exclusion of Latin as too often happens.
