What is your opinion on Jesuits and their approach to Traditional Latin Mass?
I read somewhere that Fr Fessio SJ celebrates also TLM after motu proprio Summorum Pontificum. On the other hand perhaps in Italy Jesuits are rather ignorant and dislike extraordinary form of mass as far as I know.
Generally I think Jesuits are not in favour of traditional Mass but there can be some exceptions of course.
I have several associates / friends that are Jesuits. Never have I met such people of motivation and power. These guys are very Catholic, very much a “move it or loose it” gentlemen and powerfully humble. My personal preference is the Latin Mass. I love it, I know it, I even love the smoke in the air and without apologies. My favorite Saint, St, Laurence the Decon gave Latin Mass. They roasted him on a spit like a pig and his response as they tried to pull him off the fire was, “I’m not dead yet”. Every Saint you and I know gave or attended it. They did not apologise for their love of Holy Mother Church or anything else good in their lives. We need people with leadership, conviction and direction in our Holy Church to lead,…and Catholics that are smart enough to follow.
I love the English, the Japanese and the Spanish Mass. However, my Holy Mother speaks and writes in Latin.
Pax Vobiscum. Cuiusvis hominis est errare : nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseveverare. ( Any man can make a mistake, only a fool keeps making the same one.)
In English they will hug you if you fall. In Latin they tell you to get off the ground and learn to walk.
See the difference, which one will assist you more in the long run.
The Jesuits are great guys, I respect them, and thank them for their contributions and gifts to the Church.
