Uncharacteristic Silence

.
I am working hard at trying to work out what I think people thought was wrong with the Liturgy post-WWII and pre-VII and whether they were right or wrong, and what I think people should have thought was wrong PWWIIAPVII, and what in fact I think was wrong.  It is, anglice, doing my head in, not least because I am going to have to come to a view and only an Anglican seems to get it like no Catholic does.

So forgive the uncharacteristic silence: I do have a view on absolutely everything, but am trying to concentrate.

As a teenager and young adult in the 1950s I never heard any priest,
nun or Catholic opinion former
express the slightest dissatisfaction with the liturgy.
I was teaching in a Catholic school all through V2 and it was a great shock when the first changes
came in in Advent 1964. I was then, and remain completely opposed to them.
The last 49 years have been a
penitential test of faith. I hope
my reward will be in Heaven.

Go for it.

I found your threads on the 1980s National Pastoral Council an eye opener. I was a teenager then, and remember the laity seemingly suddenly to elbow the priests out of the way. Now I know why...

Keep the articles coming.

You can read through the (UK) Catholic Herald's archives online...in the 1950s you'll see the occasional letter from members of the Vernacular Society.
