How do you define "traditional Catholicism?"

[catherineajt]

Thank you for your post–excellent thoughts!

Or, as it has been explained to me, 'There is Tradition and tradition."

What happened to me was instead of picking up Kung or Raher or Schillebeex…I picked up Von Hildebrand, Von Balthasar Neumann.

**The current Novus Ordo church (not all but most) **is greatly influenced by Kung, Rahner and Schillebeex…and those three are abosolute POISON.

I’d say “not all, but some” would be more accurate.

So, it’s your position that our churches should be “tri-lingual”?

I’m sorry, I feel like I missed something. What do you mean?

In Texas, many parishes already have Mass in English and Spanish. To add Latin would make three.

We have done that a few times.

In Western PA we have Latin, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Vietnamese, and many others so I guess we are more then trilingual.

All in the same church?

Latin, Spanish, Vietnamise and English at one Parish yes.

I guess my parish is tri-lingual then. Are y’all talking about parishes that offer masses in different languages, or those masses that are English and Spansh at the same time? I’ve heard of those, but never been. And never understood the logistics of how it’s done. Just the concept annoys me.
I like how Benedict XVI proposes saying bilingual masses in Latin (one language) rather than trying to do two at once.

That’s great actually. In looking at the different masses…the ‘traditional’ latin mass…see, I wonder if as Catholics who have experienced such masses (I haven’t)…if that what comes to mind when thinking of authentic traditional Catholicism. Since the mass is front and center–the crux of our faith being the Eucharist–it would seem that as modern day masses continue to get away from the ‘traditions’ of yesteryear–are we not as traditional as before (from a modern day mass perspective, excluding TLM?) I’m a little tired–hope I’m making sense, not like when I first posted this thread!

It didn’t make much sense to me. But, it is past my bedtime. I will reread it tomorrow. It will probably make more sense to me then.

LOL–what I just posted or my thread’s original question?

Yes, let’s come back tomorrow to discuss…I’m heading off to help my dd with a school project… I’m too tired, hopefully, I’ll be alert enough to be helpful. G’night for now.
