Javier Echevarria Rodriguez also criticized masses that have an excessive number of priests celebrating together, saying it can confuse the faithful and diminish the link between the priest and the altar.
Echevarria said he asked himself whether such large masses were being celebrated correctly, and said the former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict, had expressed a similar question in his book Look at the Crucifix.

Monsignor Javier Echevarria Rodriguez also criticized Masses that have what he called an excessive number of priests celebrating together, saying it can confuse the faithful and diminish the link between the priest and the altar.
Echevarria said he asked himself whether such large Masses were being celebrated correctly, and he also said Pope Benedict XVI, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, expressed a similar question in his book "Look at the Crucifix."
Echevarria suggested that perhaps some new church norms were necessary to deal with the issue "because experience has shown that it is not sufficient to simply make reference to the current norms."

 Opus Dei head argues against giant masses
Echevarria told the synod, which advises the Pope on Church matters and is meeting until 23 October, that there were sometimes so many priests at a concelebrated mass that they could not even see each other.
Echevarria, who is the "prelate", or head, of Opus Dei, also suggested the synod should discuss whether it was proper for the communion host to be distributed during masses for large numbers of people.
He said such large-scale distribution of communion, which Catholics believe is the body and blood of Christ, is sometimes "a detriment to the dignity of worship".
