Im all for that type mass.Yes I hope they become more frequent too.
Doing the whole thing in Latin would be harder in my opinion…and the one I see which was on youtube,no one could hear alot of what the priest said.Our Latin Pauline Mass is now weekly
Interesting to note - from what I understand this is actually **more **difficult than a TLM, correct? To learn to say/chant/sing all of the prayers in Latin in a dialogue Mass sounds more difficult to me than following along in a missalette during a TLM.
I was discussing this with a friend of mine last night who has no interest in learning Latin, and therefore said she wouldn’t be interested in a TLM.
On youtube…On YouTube or in person?
You didn’t care because it was done by SSPX? Or were just confused? And did it contain a homily?
And why would you or someone else need to understand the Latin FULLY? Does everyone understand the ICEL Mass FULLY?
With some Greek and Hebrew as well.
That would follow Vatican II guidelines and is normally what you get at a TLM. No problem.
Jesus was divisive, so why shouldn’t we, His Church, be afraid to be the same?I missed the part in Vatican II that says, “Latin is divisive.” I hear that a lot, so I figure it must be somewhere in the documents
There really is no such thing as the Vatican II Mass. Vatican II created no Mass at all. The TLM was the only Mass said at all Vatican II sessions and that was the Missal of Pope John XXIII.
Well, since it was said in France, would you have preferred it to be in French? I’m not saying that to be facetitious but sometimes we need to see things in perspective. We as Catholics will need to deal with a whole lot of issues in different languages. Why not hold to something as Latin which is still the official language of the Church and with good reason? Vatican II was right, Latin needs to be preserved.
I know you meant that in jest, judging by your smiley, but we can’t jest about God like that, I’m sorry.Jesus was divisive, so why shouldn’t we, His Church, be afraid to be the same?
We had sermons in those days not homilys and they were in English. And, insofar as I can recall, both the Epistle and the Gospel were read in English as well. Sermons did not have to be linked to the Epistle and Gospel of the day. One never knew if Father would be pitching the school fund drive or something else entirely.
Were it was at, doesnt mean a hill of beans
…l was referring to that I would like some of it to be said in the vernacular of where one lives.And I agree Latin does need to be preserved.Having sermons would be okay aswell.Do they still give a Missal at first communion?
Neither one of my sons got a Missal when they made their First Communion or were Confirmed. A three year lectionary precludes this. It is easier to use the missalette.
Handmissals (and prayerbooks) can be given anytime actually. They’re usually loaded with tons of additional prayers and history of some of the saints as well as the Mass Propers and Common. They make great birthday or Christmas gifts.
That sure brought back some memories and yes I wondered if that was you on the blog. Was the church in Milwaukee Wisc.?
Re placing discussion of the Mass celebrated in Latin in the ‘traditional Catholics’ forum rather than liturgy: While I am not finding fault with the fact that there is a forum entitled Traditional Catholics (seems nowdays that’s needed for some reason), I would like to make the point that Catholics are Catholics, period. (or they’re ‘not’…??)
