The important part was 'p: Ite missa est. R: Deo gratias!'  ('Go, the Mass 
is ended. Thank God!'

I think that was a feature rather than a bug.'  The pomp, ceremony, Latin, 
vestments, candle, incense, bells, and so on established a sense of the 
sacred and mysterious different from every day life.  The rite was 
centered around the Transubstantiation, a sacred mystery. 

Subtract too much of that awe and mystery and you tend to slip into the 
memorialism of most of the Protestant denominations. The Lutherans sit on 
the fence with consubstantiation. 

The same goes for the physical design of a church. One church in town is 
modern, or was at least modern when it was built 30? years ago. The pews 
are in a semicircular arrangement. It feels like a bus station.

I'm probably wrong but I think tradition plays a larger role in people's 
lives than they will admit.
