All photos are courtesy of the New Liturgical Movement. Masses side by side were a common sight before the new Mass of 1969 almost wiped them out. Prior, most Catholic parishes in America had 5-6 priests, now 1-2. In Ireland, which has 3.5 million Catholics, there are only 47 men at the national seminary in Maynooth, the Church of Vatican II.
