Who is personally putting YOU down?? If examples of much liturgical abuse has been given here, what does that have to do with you personally. To correct a problem which is being pointed out is only helpful to all catholics.

I am all for correcting problems, trust me, I am a lot more traditional and a whole lot less progressive… But, over generalizations, and “true” mass comments turn people off. There are some good NO masses out there, and some of our best Bishops follow them too. Anyways, what ever happend to having a bit of charity. If this is the truth from what you say, it should speak for itself. You need to step back a bit, your approach is a little too harsh. I understand the mission you are on, and I will pray for you on it, but personally, you have lost me. Pandora, now, I will listen to her…

Okay, that’s YOUR opinion. However, there are many other people here on these forums that are interested in being informed, or informing on the Tridentine Rite, and because you personally may not feel comfortable with this, it’s not all about you here.
No, when it comes to Church teaching and all related, I never tend to “back off.” Sorry. Never did even when I attended a Jesuit University as the one I did.

I am not telling you to back off to keep you quite, and I know it is IMHO… Please don’t think I want it to be all about me… Like I said you are on a mission and not all people respond well to sarcasim. I wish you the best in your journey… 🙂 I am sure you read that I lean towards the traditional… I also attend NO masses… But, I also take it as an opportunity to be an example and to teach. I have a great parish full of devout Catholics… The majority of the straglers that are “progressive” have left my church because it is to traditional, liturgical, devout, and non-progressive. Keeps us in your prayers please.

I don’t think any of the posters here are who you need to worry about either… You aren’t SSPX are you, please don’t take that wrong either.

No I am NOT sspx, I don’t think all Catholics who follow Pope John Paul’s Motu Propio Ecclesia Dei 1988 document and attend the INDULT Tridentine Mass are to be considered sspx. We seem to be going in circles, thanks.

I didn’t mean any offense like I said… Great statement by the way… The only reason I asked is because of some of the pictures you posted… I don’t have liturgical dancers at my church either… 😃 No circles, just questions to bring understanding.

Okay, which means I will continue to point out truth not half truths, in season and out of season, I was never known to be politically correct: smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_17_3.gif smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_17_5.gif smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_17_2.gif smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_20_3.gif smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_12.gif smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_45.gif

Okay… :cool: I am a middle child, which makes me a mediator… I like to see people get along.
 
I’m a middle child too. I just want peace in my house. So know I live alone. 😛 No one to argue with 😉 .

How about everyone post what they love about the TLM without mentioning the Pauline Mass, Pope or VII

I just came back from a Missa Solemnis, a Solemn High Mass, complete with a deacon and subdeacon. I can honestly tell you that the Traditional Mass is, as Fr. Faber once said, “the most beautiful thing this side of Heaven”. :gopray:

It is a universal Mass, both in the language and the actions. For example, the day before yesterday, I served at Holy Mass celebrated by a priest whom I have not seen for over a year. He celebrated Mass exactly as Msgr. would. You can go all over the world and, with very few exceptions, It would be so similar that you might as well be at Mass celebrated in your home parish.

The Traditional Mass is also more difficult for the priest to abuse. The biggest abuses I’ve heard of are a speed Mass and the priest not making the Sign of the Cross with the Host over each person at Communion. Latin also largely prevents ad-libbing in the Mass.

Finally, the Traditional Latin Mass is the result of hundreds of years of organic development in the Latin Rite. As the Scriptures say, “Tenete Traditionis”: Cling to Tradition. I agree with Chesterton that when we abandon any piece of tradition (even little-t), we disenfranchise the largest group of Catholics: those who are no longer living.

I could keep talking about other beautiful aspects of the Traditional Mass, such as the silent Canon, the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, and the symbolism with which It is replete, but I reckon this post is too long as it is. 😉
