"The conference attendees probably don’t believe the Jews are Christ-killers, but they do crave a more authentic Church, one that hasn’t forgotten itself." - What an odd thing to insert into this article. It seems to imply that there is a baseline anti-Semitic tone to this whole conference and its attendees. Most Catholics (including me)…

It seems to imply that there is a baseline anti-Semitic tone to this whole conference and its attendees. Most Catholics (including me) who are frustrated with the modern Church are just looking to limit the number of guitars and drum sets that are played during the mass, because it's really annoying. I promise we aren't anti-Semitic!
I just want to know if Suzy really thinks Catholics want a Latin mass??? LOL. I have never rolled by eyes more at her writing. It took half a day to read this one when I saw the by line.
We have a church in our town that has the Latin Mass. It’s a rogue parish. A lot of cities have them. There’s an entire movement of people who hate Vatican 2 and want to return the before times. It’s not a huge number and certainly not the majority (or even close) of Catholics, but they’re more of them than you would think.
A local parish does a Latin mass on the first Sunday of the month, and it's nice. Not the full 2 hours long mass, they shorten it significantly to fit it in under an hour, but it's nice to go to for a change and experience something different.
Hey, don't complain about drums! An evangelical church that I visited had a SMOKE MACHINE to accompany the band, along with oscillating lights that swept the congregation!
I can't imagine drums in a Catholic mass. They fit with some other denominations. I've played drums in several churches and quit most of them because the music was boring. My favorite experience was one Father's Day when the pastor walked onto the platform, plugged his lap steel into a Fender Twin amp, turned it up to 10, played Onward Christian Soldiers, ala Jimi Hendrix, and afterward stood up and said to the men; "Get a job!" Turned and walked off the platform. Best sermon ever.
It not only seemed to imply, but I read it loud and clear. Was very unfortunate and Suzy would do well to reflect on her world view and own prejudices.

HA! In the old Latin days, I'd go to the 6AM Mass because it was so short, 30 minutes max! I still remember some of that Latin, too!
good to know :)
How many drum sets are played in your church during mass?

Usually 1, which is 1 too many
