EF attendees: Would you prefer the EF to the papal OF?

[Ahlman]

A question for those usually attending the Extraordinary Form Mass: If you could choose between the EF and an Ordinary Form Mass celebrated similarly to the way the pope does, that is, with no abuses whatsoever, gregorian chant, central altar cross, communion kneeling and on the tongue (let’s suppose this would be for all the communicants), roman canon, and as much or little as you want in latin - what would you prefer?

I understand that some people get tired of the modernist OF Masses celebrated by those that interprets Vatican II as a huge break with the past, and feels that the easiest solution would be just to find a parish that celebrates the EF as it had always been done before. But does the problem really lie so much in the form celebrated as in what way it is celebrated?

I’d still take the EF.

If I had to choose between the usual OF and a Papal OF, then I’d take the Papal OF.

Pax Christi tecum.

The Traditional Latin Mass is it for me in the Roman Rite. I can no longer tolerate the Novus Ordo because of the deliberate impoverishments of the prayers and signs of devotion to Our Lord, and the saints.

The Traditional Latin Mass is positively poetic - it’s the most beautiful thing on earth. For me, there is no substitute.
