It's interesting, as I've gotten older I finally understand all the reasoning behind the ritual and it has made me appreciate it even more. AS a child, I had no idea whay we were doing certain things during certain times. Now I become somewhat annoyed when I go to church and only half the people are kneeling at certain times, mainly because I think people don't know when to keel and get up anymore. It's funny ow people respond to different things.
I think the purpose of the Latin mass was to be used as a unifyer for Catholics - that you could go to Germany or Mozambique and attend mass and still know what was going on. I find that concept so interesting.
