... to Improve the Liturgy.
Not that I don't think some of these are good ideas, but a lot of time I hear Catholics (especially seminarians and bloggers) complain about Catholic liturgy. Yes, it is important to have a beautiful liturgy that points us to God, but we can't spend our time obsessing about that. The Eucharist is the center of the mass and we should always focus on that.
That's why I liked the first paragraph of this article the most:
Boredom during the liturgy is something all Catholics have felt from time to time, and it’s never justifiable. No matter how mundane the architecture, how dull the homily, or how bad the music, what’s taking place on the altar is a miraculous sacrifice that gives us the grace for salvation. That reality should be enough to keep our attention.
All in all, it's a good article ... there are things we can change, but what's happening at the altar is the real power of the mass.
