In my own faith our worship format is virtually unchanged for centuries, and we don't feel the pressing need to update or modernized our liturgy. It is a comfort to me that at least while i'm at church I am sheltered from the madness of the marketplace.
That may be true for some or even most of the churches within the RCC, but let me assure you that there are many churches which have adopted "modern worship styles". There are not a few who have a folk band up front playing guitars, etc. And of course, some are even charismatic, in that there are those who allegedly speak in tongues, prophesy, etc.

At St. Thomas Aquinas College, in Grand Rapids.... back in the mid '70's, Barthianism was being taught to the students and transubstantiation was questioned by many of the students.

The point is, that the Roman State Church has its own set of problems that are effecting its traditional worship, theology, practice, etc. It is not in reality what it would like people to believe, i.e., this austere body which has remained the same for centuries since its inception. Nothing could be further from the truth. [Linked Image]
