More resistance to the M.P

It just seems to me that when a priest can do a weekday Mass for four or five parishioners, then a priest can do a weekday TLM for the same small number if that is all that is interested.

Providing the priest is interested and capable of saying the Mass in Latin, yes, good point.

yep. in the end, there is no good argument against the TLM and a bishop not providing it goes directly against a papal directive (JP2) that called for its wide and generous application.

My parish cancelled weekday Masses for that very reason (only 4 or 5 parishioners).

I wouldn’t put too much weight on what the British Media say when reporting on Catholicism… especially the Old Mass…

Comments like “16th C. Rite” and **“back to the congregation” and other aforementioned comments in the article show its a bad piece of non/little-researched journalism.

Not just journalists who get it wrong, so do bishops; “everything was done with (the priest’s) back to the people and in quiet. People didn’t know what was being done” ~ Bishop Zipfel, Bismark, ND, USA

Sad, isn’t it?

Very sad that they don’t have a clue about the Mass of the Ages. It will be a slow process of change and education when the Motu Proprio finally comes out. I think this is going to be the most important thing that Pope Benedict does for the Church in his pontificate.

Agreed. Will likely be the most important thing anyone does for quite some time.

Pete and re-Pete agree again.

Just curious, who’s who???

Bishop Zipfel was born in 1935, and ordained to the priesthood in 1961–how in the world can he claim that “people didn’t know what was being done”…

Not sure. Maybe it goes on a case by case basis.

Meow! I guess you’ll never know who’s who unless you ask. But no, you just want to enjoy your moment and keep the game going, and the thread hijacked with private innuendos.
