I put quotes on the word Pope because I say that there hasn't been a valid one of those since 1958. I guess I am a Sedevacantist and yet I say that the Real Presence, a tangible Presence, is still there in at least SOME novus ordo Churches... so that makes me wonder about... well, I'm not sure how to word what all I wonder about but in any case, back to the... I think that prayer we say in the Mass is the Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth... (There's the Apostolic Creed.. I think it is called.. which is shorter)
So anyway, that Creed used to begin: "We believe..."
Ratzinger changed it to "I believe..."
I don't like that. I love the way Catholics are united by the fact that the Mass readings are all the same throughout the world. Therefore, it seems way better to say We believe... and I still do. I use this prayer when praying (beginning) the rosary, although most probably use the other one
So, maybe you could tell us what YOU like and dislike about changes to the Mass in modern times.
I absolutely HATE the priest not facing the altar (God) and instead facing the people throughout the Mass..
I don't like greeting ea other during Mass.. hate that
