I have always encouraged young people to ask questions, with one proviso, that there may not be an easy answer or in some cases, no answer at all... given those conditions, fire ahead!
But in whatever category their question felt, it was always recognised as an honest question that required acknowledgement.

The Mass Responses for the 1998 missal virtually remained the same, as they were drawn up with the English Language Liturgical Consultation (ELLC), and therefore ecumenical. it was this ecumenical aspect of the 1998 missal which was completely ignored by the imposed 2010 missal. it was if other Christian denominations didn't exist or weren't important.
The Creed
For us men and for our salvation becomes, for us all and our salvation.
Was incarnate of the Virgin Mary becomes,
Was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man.
The Our Father
Ironically, the Words of the Lord's Prayer were changed in order to remove the suggestion that the Lord leads us into temptation as discussed by Pope Francis recently.
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
