Unintended Consequences of the Liturgical Reform

The Low Mass has become the preferred form (i.e. no music) for many, not just the elderly. Given what has passed for "sacred" music in Uhmerica for the past half-century, this should not be surprising. The "low mass" seems more "reverent" because modern music is not there to distract. One is able to enter into the prayer, despite the purported weaknesses of the Missal of Paul VI or the perhaps less than ideal translation.
