Data that young people are attracted to the Latin Mass?

[pulchraesamicamea]

I’m young (23 years old) and I love the Latin Mass.
I’m just sad that there are no Latin Masses around my area (or in Korea, generally). I usually watch the Latin Mass on YouTube instead.
I just feel so serene and peaceful when I’m in it.

You are on to something, though, that “Tridentine” may not be accurate for later versions of the EF . . .

Yeah I know it is not accurate but it is used to imply usual EF, because that Mass form originates from Trent (or became standard there). Same way current OF originates from Novus Ordo Missae (while not being that exact form). If we keep too specific, we’d have to stop referring to Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom that way because it got minor changes too, and St. John Chrysostom did not celebrate it this exact way either.

The majority of the time that people on this forum use “NO” for “OF” it is meant either derisively, dismissively, or a put down.

I am sad to hear it, but I mostly use NO or OF in normal way, so does my Priest (and he’s not very pro-Tridentine or Ad Orientem or so). I mean, word Christian was an insult at first and we adopted it, I don’t see much wrong with referring to OF as NO, when it is heavily implied what one means and also if it does not seem derogatory.

When people say NO mass for OF mass in English it read as if they were saying it is no mass.

Not being able to make heads or tails of the homily was probably the most difficult part, frankly.

To be honest, I’ve been to Masses in English where I had that problem.

Again, you are assuming that those 4-6 children will remain in the movement, which is exceedingly dubious.

Retention of children within Catholicism is a problem across the Church IMHO. So statistically speaking, the TLM movement only needs to do marginally better to grow percentually.

And of course having more children means that even if not all are retained, overall more are retained.

To be honest, I’ve been to many Masses in English where I wish I had had that problem.

Yes, same here. We have a priest now who has an accent so thick most people can not understand him.
