Thank you TruthSeeker20. And welcome to CAF!In our rapidly changing, modernized, highly secular culture, it is very admirable and encouraging that there are Catholics who are defending and conserving their traditions and heritage - the same traditions and heritage that have sustained the Church for millennia.
Keep it up!

Thank you Truthseeker. It is nice to hear that the insanity of the world has not deceived you into thinking these things we are going through in secular society are normal. Perhaps one day you will fight alongside with us.

Thanks for the kind words. They definitely work. I’m only reminded of people like Agatha Christie and other non-Catholics who went out of their way to try to preserve the traditional Catholic Mass, among other things.In our rapidly changing, modernized, highly secular culture, it is very admirable and encouraging that there are Catholics who are defending and conserving their traditions and heritage - the same traditions and heritage that have sustained the Church for millennia.

You’ll have to elaborate on that. Agatha Christie helped preserve the traditional Catholic mass despite not being a Catholic?
:byzsoc:Well I’ll be. You learn something every day. I had no idea there had even been exceptions made inside the Church to allow for the Tridentine mass to continue in certain circumstances prior to Pope Benedict bringing back the Tridentine as the EF in 2007. And no idea that a non-Catholic like Christie was one of the big reasons why. And the story of Pope Paul VI reading the letter from the British is frankly hilarious.
For the record, Pope John Paul II restored the 1962 Missal in his 1984 document.Well I’ll be. You learn something every day.

Pope Benedict noted in Summorum Pontificum or the accompanying letter that it had never been abrogated (I believe it was St. JPII who originally commissioned a study on that question). I take that to mean that it was always licitly in use to some extent (usually on a case by case basis before the general indult I would imagine). I’m not sure what else it could mean.
