Cringing at mass

Telling why he hesitated to leave the anti-Vatican 2 Society of St. Pius X, biographer of its founder says it was partly because of his:

occasionally having to attend mainstream liturgies for weddings or funerals, all celebrated with varying degrees of cringe-making banality or abuse. Who could live with all that, day in and day out? Wouldnt I be risking my soul to walk into such a situation? No, the SSPX seemed to be, to use a perennial tautology, a safe haven for a Catholic in the current climate.

They do induce cringes, do they not?
