10 Most Common Liturgical Abuses from Catholic Answers
TAKE A QUIZ on your awareness of liturgical abuse
Paul VI saw liturgical abuse as "Smoke of Satan"
Fr. John Trigilio Takes on U.S. Catholic over Latin Mass
"Pope Leo XIII wrote an incredibly powerful and holy prayer of intercession to St. Michael. His intention was to protect the Church and mankind from Satan and his demons.
After Pope Leo XIII finished saying Mass on October 13, 1884, he collapsed into what is allegedly a mystical ecstasy. He witnessed a confrontation between Jesus and Satan, and saw evil demons being released from hell. To protect the Church and all families, he wrote a Leonine Exorcism which he mandated to be said after each Mass from that point forth.
In 1934, however, Pope Leo’s intercessory prayer was changed without explanation. It is believed that it was suppressed due to its startling content. It was replaced by an abbreviated Prayer to St. Michael, which still is powerful but not as compelling as the original.
The original prayer to St. Michael was a very powerful intercessory prayer. The original prayer to St. Michael was 594 words long. "
Let us all offer to God our prayers that our Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is always offered in reverence to Him and with Him as it's sole focus.

What a LIST! Sadly, I could label several parishes I've attended behind almost every single line item.
Our parish here has a new pastor. I was praying for guidance about where we should attend as our initial time at this parish had mixed feelings. Nothing like seeing the wrong in the liturgy to the point of distraction. I need to write up about initial impressions of the new pastor. But, I'll tease with his opening was he's neither liberal or conservative...rather his fidelity is to The Church. And, we have Latin Mass on the schedule now for the third Saturday of each month as it's his choice to say it once a month. (R wants to see about serving at it, too. There's a class later this week...better call and sign him up. D wants to sing at it.)
Laura - I am so weak about distraction. It hijacks the Mass for me. I need to pray for strength against it when I am not at my peaceful and prayerful parish.
I kinda like your description of the priest being not one or the other but rather FAITHFUL to The Church. That's all we need.
Great that the boys are interested in the Latin Mass, mine were too...immediately as it speaks to their masculine natures. Like our dear Fr. G always said...
Take care, friend!
This is such a helpful list. Thank you!
"General, sacramental absolution given during the Penitential Rite during the Mass; and/or, outside of Mass, merely because, although confessors are available, there are a large number of penitents" I am flabbergasted by the truth in those words.
