[Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam]

Well, to Chris, I only can sit and wonder why a symbolic christ-centered Mass makes any difference when Christ himself is at every Mass in the Eucharist.

This may just be me but I prefer the symbolism of something to convey what it actually is (you know like how the sacrament is an efficacious sign that is what it represents and all). So if a mass in some way says that the community or something else is the center of the Mass rather than Christ even if the Eucharist is validly consecrated (even though a valid Mass will always at its heart be Christ centered in the Eucharist even if other aspects are distorted like music), I'd prefer the symbolism be changed so that the message of the symbol conveys what the reality is. Such messages conveyed in symbolism would help me better contemplate the divine and better help me prepare myself to receive the Eucharist. But then again maybe it is just me.
