Since Vatican II many Jesuits have not only sat lightly to rubrics but have deliberately chosen to celebrate Mass badly to demonstrate that they are free of 'rubricism'. As a result many Masses celebrated by Jesuits are distracting, painful occasions, especially in the United States. Their principle seems to be: don't know, won't learn, don't care.<br /><br />It used to be said that while Jesuits were not good at celebrating High Mass (St Ignatius discouraged the practice)they were princes of celebrating Low Mass.
