He see’s everything.
He rewards accordingly.
He is worthy of worship and rites that honor His magnificence. He is God. Man is nothing.
Novus Ordo strips everything sacred away from the liturgy. At Mass yesteday there was the usual abominable elevator music, the hand clapping at the end of the homily and at the end of the last song, the legions of female Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (or whatever title those feminists are given), the typical short skirts on young women up to their buttocks, female lectors, etc. ad nauseam. And the homily was full of personal anecdotes, nothing about what the Scripture readings said. And then comes the problematic Eucharistic Paryer 2. It’s all liberal progressive Democrat 💩. I really hate it. It’s all about “we are the Church” and nothing about “Christ is King.”
Orthodox Anglicans (not those associated with Canterbury) give Mass in Elizabethan English according to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, not Latin, but frankly, it’s more holy and respectful than most Novus Ordo Masses. And I have been to a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Divine Liturgy once or twice, and yes, it is absolutely divine. I hae also seen on YouTube Russian Orthodox Divine Liturgy – wow! So why is Rome gutting Traditional Latin Mass from her accepted liturgies? We used to have Latin Mass at St. Ann’s here in Charlotte; what a treat into divinity that was! But our Bishop killed it. And there is little to nothing holy about Novus Ordo that he insists on.
I am sorry, Folks. I hate Vatican II, and I despise Pope Leo’s predecessor and Pope Leo himself. Benedict tried to fix this, but he cowardly ran out on us.
