It won't matter what liturgy is practiced, if the laity is still ignorant of, or defiant to, Catholic teaching.Brother Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697860817229595126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19895656.post-7346002725945899822007-05-24T06:14:00.000-05:002007-05-24T06:14:00.000-05:00When the Motu Proprio is finally issued, there wil...When the Motu Proprio is finally issued, there will not be herds of folks migrating to the latin mass, but there is hope that it will have a positive effect on the celebration of the Novus Ordo. And there's an awe and reverence at a typical latin mass that you'll have a hard time finding anywhere else. It's definitely worship... <A HREF="http://www.cegguam.org/sacraments/tridentine.htm " REL="nofollow">Click here</A> for links to Google video of parts of an actual latin mass.Chuck Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227690954739498998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19895656.post-77358039493216417152007-05-22T15:34:00.000-05:002007-05-22T15:34:00.000-05:00If the Tridentine Rite is so devotion inspiring, t...<I>If the Tridentine Rite is so devotion inspiring, then why is it that the generation that was born and raised with it the same ones to bring in the guitars, dancers, and EEMs?</I><BR/><BR/>Simple, Jimbob.... obedience. When all that Prot-friendly/inspired nonsense reared it's ugly head, most Catholics fell back on the "but the pope says it's OK" argument. <BR/><BR/>Will everything be hunky-dory moments after the MP is relased? Of course not. Hey, it took 40+ years for things to get this screwed up. It'll take quite some time to get Catholics back in the habit of being Catholics once again. <BR/><BR/>But back to your initial question, I think it all boils down to this.... absolutes are difficult to bear and quite heavy.

However, I suspect that the people who holler the most for it will be surprised when it is not offered simply because there is not enough of a demand. This issue has made me angry because of the attitude that seems to suggest a person is less Catholic because they may prefer a Novus Ordo Mass in their own language. <BR/><BR/>"It's Better in Latin?"
