Can someone kindly explain why it would NOT be suitable for the TLM?

The Chairwomen of the Liturgy Council has stated that she will not allow a dated Mass like to TLM be said anymore. Needless to say that I have reported to the Pastor and the Superior of the House.

A “dated Mass?”…so, I hate to be blunt, but is she, oh I dunno, retarded?

The TLM can be offered on a free-standing altar.

In fact, would not a free standing altar be in some sense preferable, seeing as how this would easily enable an ideal of incensations fully around the altar?

That’s what I’ve always thought.

Well, Jkirk, quite frankly they make the church look horrible. Such banners are banal, no matter what language they are in.

Don’t worry about him. He’s merely expressing the common misconception that traditionalism revolves around latin which he personally strongly dislikes.

Yes, it can, but it is not incensed all the way around, and is treated like it is against the wall/has no space behind it.

The 1962 Missal has the instructions for the incensing all the way around- though from the few videos I have seen, it seems the priests(in one case, a bishop) follow only the other method described for incensing the altar on one side.

Why? If it CAN be incensed all the way around, it would seem that it SHOULD be, afterall, no? Is not the reason for not doing so more of practical impossibility when the high altar happens to be up against a rearados?

I’m pretty sure they weren’t permanent. And I agree that banal is a problem, but banal is also in the mind of the beholder.

No, I’m simply expressing the common and easily proven FACT, easily verified by looking in these fora, that “traditionalists” will carp on and on about anything, and that they don’t feel fully engaged in life unless they’re offering negative commentary on things about which no one particularly cares what they think.

And you’ve no evidence that I dislike Latin. You can only assert that I like the vernacular Mass.

Is that picture from the same church as the one in the OP? It does not appear that the old altar has enough room to say Mass. It looks like all that’s left is the part that holds the tabernacle. There does not appear to be any room for anything else besides the tabernacle, which appears to be setting right at the edge.

I will tryin get a better picture later but the High Altar has not changed since it was built in 1902. We have recently added an altar cloth and Six Candles.
 
It is supposed to be incensed all around if it is freestanding. When it is against the wall, they step up (or is it down?) a step on the side which is meant to indicate that they are now incensing the opposite side of the altar.
