If a Martian Went to Mass...

Loose Canon was a big advocate of the Mass in "a language understanded of the people"--but then I realized that the translations and emphases were so bad that the Mass is all too often misunderstanded of the people. Not to mention the awful music and banal preaching.

If a Martian stepped into a Novus Ordo Mass in most parishes, Mr. Martian would leave thinking that the meaning of the liturgy was a meet and greet with lots of energetic hand-shaking. In the Church's Tridentine Mass the focus is never lost: It's what happens on the altar. That is why I am glad to read predictions that Benedict will make the Tridentine Mass more widely available.
