<> Because it IS (still) 'the' Catholic Church. <> What is Dogmatically wrong with changing BACK TO the novus ordo Mass? I say "back to" because the first Masses were VERNACULAR. Jesus said the first Mass (the Last Supper) in Aramaic. Hellenistic converts to Christianity attended Masses said in Greek. Roman converts attended Masses said in Latin. It was only when the Church actively decided to convert the Roman Empire that it decided to say all Masses in Latin. Given the passage of time, the fact that Latin has long since become a dead language, and the fact that Christianity has spread all over the world (not merely where the old Roman Empire used to be), it became practical to go back to the Novus Ordo Mass rather than FORCE everyone to learn Latin. As far as the music in Masses is concerned, that is up to the individual parishes. MOST don't have "modern music". Many still stick to the old hymns. <<"Clown" Messes, "Balloon" Messes, "Coffee" Messes, "Dorito" Messes, "Disco" Messes, etc.,>> There are no such things in the Catholic Church. <> REAL post-Vatican II Catholicism, and what you think it is, are two very different things. <> No, it doesn't. It looks very much Catholic. <> Yes they are! There is always a statue and/or other image in a Catholic parish, most often by the tabernacle. And, I've yet to see a Catholic parish, named after a saint, but without a statue of that saint somewhere in the parish itself! <> WRONG! There is a tabernacle in every Catholic Church. <> WRONG! Every Catholic altar contains the relic of a saint. <> WRONG! Every Catholic Church has a consecrated altar. <> Some do, some don't. The vast majority of Catholic parishes in my area have altar rails. There is only one that I know of without an altar rail. What difference does that make when you consider the fact that altar rails are NOT Dogmatically necessary? <> Well, you have to actually go into one before you can see what's really in it! I mean, it couldn't be more obvious to EVERY post-Vatican II Catholic out there that you've never been in one! All you've got to offer is run-of-the-mill, garden-variety vitriol that usually comes from anti-Catholic so-called traditionalists. I mean, avoiding post-Vatican II Catholic parishes is exactly how you come to believe in that vitriol.
