I think I would just choose a nice font and print two words:

Dominus
Vobiscum

This would offer a blessing to anyone who sees it. Those of us familiar with the phrase would understand its meaning and those who are unfamiliar would hopefully be curious…
 
To steal a fad from the 1980s:

BABY BAPTIZED
UNDER THE OLD LATIN RITE
ON BOARD

(imagine the diamond-shaped yellow construction sign)

In response to the recent document? issued by the Holy See’s Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care for Migrants and Itinerant Peoples:

I OBEY THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF DRIVING,
SO DO NOT CUT ME OFF AND TEMPT ME TO SIN!

As was pointed out, I’m agnostic, but don’t let that stop you (I’m sure you could find an atheist to agree, just talk nice for a bit, most of them don’t bite) 🙂 I’ve been to several Latin masses, including a two-hour standing-room-only high mass at St Peter’s. It’s beautiful, whether or not I think it’s reaching anyone up there.

‘Gregorian chant: it brings the house down’. (Please guys, ditch the vernacular hymns…)

Okay, here’s an opportunity for you fellow traddies to strut your creative stuff.

The goal is to create a bumper sticker design with some traditional message (example, I Love the Traditional Latin Mass). Most bumper stickers are 3"X10", but since CAF doesn’t allow photos larger than 400X400 pixels, keep your dimensions under that.

You can upload your photos to: allyoucanupload.webshots.com/
and then link it to this website with the insert tool.

If a Mod needs to adjust my post to give maximum allowable dimensions, please do.

Here’s my attempt:

As a 75 year old Catholic who was raised with the Tridentine Mass I don’t quite understand the desire to go back to a ceremony in a foreign language. What is the fascination with Latin ? I was happy to be through with it after reading Virgil’s Aeneid in high school.

This is a bit off topic but I will say that this is exactly why the Motu Proprio is so great. Now we have different expressions of the Mass that can appeal to different people. That can be nothing but Good.

For me, the appeal of the Latin Mass is that I feel the presence of Christ more fully or at least more often. That is not to say I do feel it at a Novus Ordo Mass, I do. In fact the most profound experience I ever had at Mass was at the very first Mass I attended and that was a Novus Ordo Mass. But as a new Catholic, confirmed in 2005, I find the Latin Mass a more inspiring experience as it connects me with history in a very real way.

At a Novus Ordo Mass, I experience more external stimulation so the experience is different in nature. Not better, not worse, but different.

Wow, I didn’t know that you were so well rounded.

If I happened upon a dirty car sporting one of these bumper stickers, I’d have to use my finger to write across the back window:

LAVABIS ME

Nah… you’d write

LAVA ME

If you write “lavabis” you’d be saying - “you will wash me” or “you are going to wash me”. Not as a command but as a statement. You know - the second person indicative future tense.

I prefer the term Classical Roman/Latin Rite to Traditional Latin Mass.

The Missal of 1969, regardless of the languge used, IS the Roman Rite–and it IS the Latin Rite.

And contrary to popular wisdom, may still be celebrated in Latin.

Why not use the Pope’s own preferred terminology: Extraordinary and Ordinary forms? (Don’t obedience and following his instructions matter?)
 
What about this:

SONA SI LOQUESTA LATINE

(Honk If You Speak Latin)

(I think it is correct)

Well the word ‘Extraordinary’ is a mouthful, and when speaking to people after Mass for example, something more sound byte like would make things easier. It is also one thing to use official terms in documents, and quite another when speaking informally to people. Obedience is not really an issue here at all.

My own preference is to say ‘Classical Use’ for the 1962 Missal and ‘Pauline Use’ for the 1970 Missal. This make things a lot easier when needing to refer to the Carmelite, Dominican, Benedictine, Ambrosian, etc Liturgies. The standard means of referring to those is simply Carmelite Use for example.
 
261 out of 265 popes agree, the Traditionalist Latin Rite is Right (and even the other 4 say its extraordinary 😉

This isn’t exactly right, because originally the liturgy was in Greek. I’m not sure what year it changed but it certainly wasn’t during St. Peter’s pontificate nor that of his immediate successors (in fact I’m not even sure if they used Greek or if that came even later). Also before the council of Trent, there were various pre-Tridentine Masses.
