The point that Louie Verrechio brings up in "No More Outdoor Mega-Masses" is one I have made a lot of times, although in private. First of all I don't see the obvious good that comes out of such large Masses. Surely, with "active participation" being the mantra of the Novus Ordo church, such absurdities cannot be condoned? Nobody who attends a Mass with so many other people can feel particularly participative.
