I prefer the Mass to be in the vernacular. I would love for the Tridentine to be offered in English.

Zenit is one place you can check. It provides information on our Pope’s audiences, speeches etc. People here at CA — also post links to this type of information. As to the bishops—it has been my experience that for me to be informed—I need to keep track of information on my own. Below is the link to Zenit. Maybe other people can provide other places that carry similar information.

Walking_Home: Thank you for this website! Its GREAT!!!🙂
 
I’m new here and I don’t know my way around the site. Forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered.

What is the source of the claim: “The Canon, or main part, of this Tridentine Mass, is essentially the same as what the Apostles themselves used, as given to them by Our Lord. Since the time of Christ to 1962, a total of 26 words have been added to the Traditional Canon.”

I see this claim on some other websites used by traditionalists but I can’t figure out how they support that claim.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Council of Trent
CHAPTER IV
THE CANON OF THE MASS
And since it is becoming that holy things be administered in a holy manner, and of all things this sacrifice is the most holy, the Catholic Church, to the end that it might be worthily and reverently offered and received,** instituted many centuries ago the holy canon,[14] which is so free from error that it contains nothing that does not in the highest degree savor of a certain holiness and piety and raise up to God the minds of those who offer. For it consists partly of the very words of the Lord, partly of the traditions of the Apostles, and also of pious regulations of holy pontiffs**

The Canon used in the Traditional Mass is the same as used by Pope Damascus in the years 366-384. Only two phrases were added, one by Pope Leo {440-461} and by Pope Gregory {540-604}.

The reading of scripture in one year cycles was established by St Damasus in the fourth century.

In the fifth century Pope Celestine I introduced the Introit and the Gradual.

In the sixth century Pope Gregory added the Kyrie Eleison

In the seventh Pope Sergius introduced the Agnes Dei…

Over the centuries various additions were made to the ceremonies surrounding the Canon. But the canon itself remained sacred and untouched.

When the Mass was being attacked by the reformers it was necessary to codify it so as to protect it from possible corruption.

The Traditional Mass therefore could never be forbidden or altered, as was declared by Pius V in Quo Primum.

Sorry for being difficult but I’m still not finding and source for the “26 words” thing.

I just spent the last 30 minutes searching through the Council of Trent. I found your quote but nothing to support the claim that only 26 words have been added since the days of Pope Damascus.

The Canon used in the Traditional Mass is the same as used by Pope Damascus in the years 366-384. Only two phrases were added, one by Pope Leo {440-461} and by Pope Gregory {540-604}.

What’s the source of this information?

Respectfully…
 
I’m very excited about it. There may be some that think Catholics (in America anyway) may not be interested in the Latin Mass, but I have great hope that that’s just not the case. From what I’ve found, there are many American Catholics who are very joyous over the return of the Latin Mass. I hope when parishes begin having Latin Masses, that as it is introduced again, more and more people will come to fall in love with it.

What do you think about Mass in Latin? I think that many years ago, all Masses were in Latin, what’s our opinion about it? Which would you prefer?

– I’m just wondering, that’s all. 😉 😃

Latin- as you can plainly see- Latin words never change. It is also the official language of the Catholic Church- it shows unity among all of the faithful and a sacredness of the Liturgy- as you leave your street talkin words outside God’s house and enter into His House to worship Him.

Latin.

We’re the Latins, and all the Rites within the Roman Catholic Church (The Tridentine, Ambrosian, Mozarabic, Bragan etc.) had been traditionally said in Latin, with a few exceptions at some places.

How could the Hindus have Sanskrit, the Muslims Classical Arabic and the Buddhists Pali/Sanskrit yet we Christians couldn’t have a Liturgical language of our own?
