The Church is depriving young people
Catholics growing up today will probably never know the beauty of the Latin Mass. That is such a tragedy (the greatest tragedy being: they are deprived of true Catholicism). Worse, they may grow up never experiencing the Real Presence. In my travels across the US, I have found some Churches in which you could barely discern the Real Presence at all, and in some Churches, I even felt the presence of Satan! Here is a passage from the Bible that speaks of the Real Presence, but without using that exact term
Jeremiah 7
The following message came to Jeremiah from the Lord Stand at the gate of the House of the Lord [now called: the Church] & there proclaim this message “Hear the Word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord!
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Reform your ways & your deeds so that I may remain with you in this place [the Ark of the Covenant, later the Church]
Put not your trust in the deceitful words 'This is the Temple of the Lord! The Temple of the Lord! The Temple of the Lord!' Only if you thoroughly reform your ways & your deeds; if each of you deals justly with his neighbor; if you no longer oppress the resident alien, the orphan & the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow strange gods to your own harm, will I remain with you in this place in the land I gave your fathers long ago & forever But here you are, putting your trust in deceitful words to your own loss! Are you to steal & murder, commit adultery & perjury, burn incense to Baal, go after strange gods that you know not & yet come to stand before me in this House which bears my Name & say 'We are safe; we can commit all these abominations again'? Has this House which bears my Name become in your eyes a den of thieves? I... see what is being done, says the Lord
