I care! I've never been Catholic, but I attended my fair share of services with my best friend growing up. Also, you care about it, and that's as good a reason as any. <3

You seriously have to say "through my fault" three times? Look, humility and self-reflection are wonderful things, but I think that crosses the line into self-flagellation. That would be super-alienating for me, and I can't imagine I'm alone in that.

This all seems very sad, and frustrating. I hope it's not too off-putting for you. <3 Is it possible a rogue congregation or two will go back to the original version, or is this ruling totally absolute?
