The Tabernacle is gone. The Real Presence of God in the Holy Eucharist is gone.  The Sacrifice of the Mass at the Holy Altar has become a memorial meal consumed at a table.  Adoration of God has been replaced with external "signs" of good fellowship between men.  You are told that Jesus saves everyone - including those who reject His Teachings.  The ennobling effort of man to know, love and serve God is suppressed in favour of enforced "good Works' in the name of secular humanism.  The hierarchy seems unable to lead  the faithful through these troubling times.  Your bishop answers to no one and does as he pleases and your  pastor functions only as a "Presider."  He presides over the "Celebration" and the parish social functions, but is spiritually distant.

So... what happened ? ...Does your church seem "empty" ...Why doesn't the hierarchy do something ? ...Why is the "Novus Ordo" or "New Mass" so inadequate ?,,,Why this constant emphasis on " community ?" ... And what ever happened to the Latin Mass ?
