Yes, when I was young, went from the Latin Mass being said quietly by the priest, to the congregation making some of the responses in Latin, to making the responses in the Vernacular. The introduction of sitting for the reading of the Epistle (that one got my Dad pretty mad; the priest announced: "Now we will be reading the Epistle, please sit down". My Dad muttered under his breath: "next they will be saying: now we will be reading the Epistle, please lay down". The introduction of Guitars at Mass was another big one. The elimination of traditional hymns with the introduction of the sappy pop tunes, to make the Mass "more relevant". Another biggie: the Elimination of the genuflection at the words: "And He became Incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary..." We just stopped doing it one week, and hardly anyone noticed (except my Dad, who was again very upset). Going to receive Communion standing up in two queues, instead of kneeling at the altar rail. The excuse given was so puerile, that even a dummy like me could see that it was baloney. Generally the great lessening of reverence by the priests when saying Mass and the encouraging of talking in Church, which lessened respect for the real presence. The turning around of the altar looked really strange,especially since the priest had to peek around the tabernacle in order to address the congregation; then the separation of the altar from the tabernacle. We walked out of Church in late 1968 and have never been back since.

Hey Heinrich, thanks to your advice I now do 100 pushups every day. I don't do much weight lifting; but I use two 30 lb kettle bells and I do 3 sets of 10 curls, presses and squats. Its not much, but its something I can do regularly and keeps me in pretty good shape (for an old man). I also do lunges with two 20lb. Kettle bells and a couple of sets of "burpees". Mike
