never mind

Does that mean you changed your mind about saying what you were going to say?

or does it mean "don't you worry about trying to sort out what really happened and how it really was"?

As for me, I quite liked the Mass was in English and the fact that we could play a more active part in it. I do have a great speaking voice and got congratulated for my expressive reading of the Scriptures

I liked being on the parish council and standing up for social justice.

Mind you, I did think it was a bit weird when the parish had a seder dinner at Easter (Holy Thursday, I think). Well you can't please all. To each his own!

My mentally disabled older brother knew it was wrong straight off. My parents got wind of a priest who said Mass like before and they started going along. They were faithful to that until the SSPX was formed. My mother got fired from teaching religion in the state school, not because she attended Latin Mass but because she taught in the old way and didn't follow the new program. S'pose they could smell the incense on her and sense her holiness.

I changed a lot over 45 years. It was very gradual, but marriage and family made a big difference.

There were a few people who knew from the start that "something was wrong", but generally they were few and far between. Many though it a good thing to update, and many didn't care.

I think it is hard from youngsters nowadays to imagine the world as it was in 1960, but I remember well. It was simple and uncomplicated. You were sure of a job and job security. You could pretty easily find a suitable spouse (if you wanted one). We "KNEW" we could trust the priests and the hiearchy. No worries!
