Today's gospel provides a powerful analogy by which to compare and contrast the Traditional and New Mass. We have a pharisaical liturgy for modern man where man stands with pride before God making it 'all about himself.' We have a publican liturgy for the marginalized man who kneels in recognition of his nothingness and God's greatness, not daring to enter the sacred sanctuary. With the new motu proprio, are we doomed to repeat the terrible errors which overtook the Church in the 60s and have left a loss of faith and devastation in their wake? How could anyone forget the ancient truth: lex orandi, lex credendi. In other words the Church believes as she worships. This means that the Church's liturgy is the most effective means of preserving and interpreting the one True Faith. If man radically changes the liturgy, then man is likewise radically altering the True Faith which God has revealed.
