mass confusion we say

I left the Catholic Church, because they simply can not accept many of the man-made dogmas and doctrines imposed and patriarchal rule.
However, I must say I loved the ritual of the traditional mass. It is beautiful and comforting and it does not matter that the Catholic Church is that it always feels familiar and makes you feel at home, and varies very little from parish to parish. Prayer and worship is part of the church that I loved. And the hymns and the Eucharist are lovely.
I have never heard of all these bodies of alternates that you describe.

We should never have lost the traditional mass.
The whole world would always be on the same page.

The mass is very important. Receiving the Eucharist is so important.

I think we are actually participating in the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar. It is the highest prayer. I prefer the Tridentine Latin Mass. He has much more in the sanctity and beauty.I like to recover the lost traditions for us.

Mass is just a show, which you mentioned. Go to the show that she entertains.

I read in one of its missile unbloody that is, the bloody sacrifice of Jesus - again and again.
I wonder what the Bible has to say about that.
Hebrews 9:12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered the sanctuary once and for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have defiled, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
ONCE Gee said. not again and again.
I wonder about that.

Fortunately, it is not like that where I come from.
In general, if something would have been inappropriate at the Last Supper, or at the foot of the cross on Calvary, is inadequate in Mass
This does not mean there is absolutely no room for a bit of local culture.
Find one close to the parish that celebrates a mass level, and send a letter to his bishop to complain about what he witnessed.
