The Pope and the Vatican MUST have been crazy to have given all this magnificent Mass and music up 40+ years ago, and replaced it with the Protestant-inspired "worship service" we have today.
Seeing the beautiful churches and altars such as this in Rome, (or New York, Philadelphia, etc.)is wonderful. But witnessing the trashy little Vatican II tables placed in front of such altars in the USA and Rome and elsewhere, it's no wonder very few want to be a priest. I wouldn't, if I saw the altar go from a tremendous work of art, to a simple picnic table. Or High Mass devolve into a "praise and worship" service.
I wish the SSPX , the FSSP, and the ICRSP and others would be given more Churches in Rome, rather than just the 2-3 at present. (if that many).
