The Mass became verbose. Ancient liturgy places emphasis on gesture, colour, music, incense, even silence, and limits the spoken word to a minimum. In media-speak, a picture paints a thousand words. I am not surprised that Orthodoxy is the fastest growing faith in Britain and America. The Russian Orthodox novelist-apologist, Dostoyevsky, said beauty would save the world, and that seems to be his church's philosophy.
Vernacular presents another problem too.
Accept the vernacular, and accept all vernaculars. There are 50 recognised minority languages in the European Union alone. The Church cannot assist cultural imperialism. We are assured the Catholic liturgy is better than ever and will be further enhanced by greater lay participation. Laymen are disappearing in today's church, narrowing the pool from which vocations are drawn.
