it was reverent..
Cardinal Avery Dulles didn't think so. I didn't find Low Mass all that reverent.
not all change is good. Some is unecessary. Moving the Tabernacle to the corner of the church was unnecessary.
Giving the reserved sacrament a place of its own rather than confusing it with the action on the altar has some merit. St. Peter's in Rome has long been this way has have many great churches.
The way they planned Novus Ordo, it was supposed to be much like the TLM only in the vernacular. Why move the Tabernacle, remove altar rails, replace traditional music with folk music and guitars (in some parishes), have everyone receive Communion in the hand from Eucharistic ministers, etc? that wasn't how NO was originally planned. If a parish stays close to the rubrics, the Mass will resemble the TLM more than the NO we're used to.[/quote]
The rubrics of the former Mass do not require the Tabernacle on the altar of sacrific (on occassions, it was prohibited), altar rails, no even that the priest face the apse.
