Fr. Anscar has the credentials and has served in the Papal Commission on Liturgy for a long time. He is also well versed with the developments and changes that resulted to the Vatican II.

I recently attended a Tridentine Mass, an experience which reinforced my conviction that the reforms initiated by Vatican 2 should be defended, should be promoted amongst those too young to remember what our liturgy was like before the Council, and be taken further.
The current translation could be improved, but only to make it even more accessible to the laity. In addressing God in our own prayers, and in the Mass, we should always remember that Jesus asked us to call God our Father. A grovelling approach to our Creator should not be mistaken for reverence.

Let's not kid ouselves for a moment. To say "the church has been marching with the times" is a severe and misguided notion; rather, there have been enclaves within the church willing to sacrifice its sacredness to follow the ways of the world. The bottom line is that the current liturgy is in dire need of reform, as the language is far too common and lacks the reverence that should be present when worshipping God; further, it has contributed to a generation who has lost sight of their place before the Almighty.

The current translation is very far from what was orignally intended stated in Latin and quite frankly, when the vernacular used is too common, people will look upon that which is worshipped as common.

There may be many new norms and directives guiding priests; however, the eternal truth is the eternal truth and never changes and that truth is that Our God deserves the highest reverence, and part of helping laity to develop that reverence is the use of language and gestures.

Honestly, if Fr Anscar Chupungco cannot envision what I have spoken of, he needs to visit a tridentine mass and become with the sacred tradition of the Church and the Mass promulgated by Pope Pius V. Perhaps some time on his knees before the Eucharist will help him and others to understand my point, as it is imperative to remember that in the Sacrifice of the Mass we behold the King of Kings, Master of the Universe, the true God. Keeping the previous in mind, how could we offer Him anything but the best in language, music and actions (gestures)?

I am flabbagasted that Fr Chupungco should say that the "chruch has been marching with the times". Are "the times" so good that the church has simply to follow it and all will be well? As G.K Chesterton once said, the church should not simply move with the times, but move the times. Also, a dead thing can always flow with the current, only a living thing can swim against it.

I do not know what is wrong with the church marching with the times, while in fact, you guys are using what the present moment offers, and may I say, even enjoy using these gadgets, the freedom of speech, to express what you think and know, and also to display what you do not know. Can you say that you are not marching with the times? To march with the times has been the vision not by Fr. Chupungco only, but by the Second Vatican Council. It is the whole orientation of a movement that recognizes that the present is not something to be considered bad. Remember the late Pope Blessed John XXIII, when asked why he would be calling a council, he replied that he would open the window to let fresh air come in. The Council was intended to show the so-called the "prophets of doom", those who mistrusted the present world that this world, the present world we live in has something positive to offer, that dialogue with it is possible, that what the world may offer, may be used for evangelization. Dialogue here would not mean just following what the world dictates. There is also the so-called critical collaboration.
Sad that what caught your attention was that line which did not comprise the whole talk, and was not even original to Fr. Anscar!
