I have gone to the Triendentine Mass all my life though I have been to numerous Norvus Ordo Masses. I think that the Bishops should bring back the Latin Mass and encourage it. Since Vatican II many good things have happened but we also never had the problems we now have because of it. Communion in the hand (which was always a sacriliege pre-Vatican II), Eucharistic Ministers (when a priest is ordained his hands are consecrated so only he can touch the host.), altar girls (why are we promoting girls in a vocation they can not have? Boys were always altar boys to encourage them to the priesthood.), and no longer abstaining on Fridays (THIS HAS BEEN PROMOTED BY THE CHURCH!) are just some of the abuses. The Tridentine Mass also offers more reverence to God. Since Vatican II the argument has been that we need to bring more people to the faith. True! DEO GRATSIAS! But what has happened is that instead of praising God more and raising our souls up to him…the New Mass is bringing everything downward with less pomp and beautiful prayers. The most of the bishops have become liberals themselves-promoting birth control and the modern movement. That’s just my little opinion. Take it or leave it.
 
Why not have the Tridentine Mass said in the vernacular language? The English tranlation could be taken from the old St. Joseph or St. Andrew missals which I used to follow the Mass when I was a kid. I loved praying the prayers in English while the priest recited them in Latin at the altar. I think the faithful would get a clearer understanding of what the Mass is, why they are there, and hopefully increasing their love for God and His Son.

While I believe that would be a huge improvement over the current Roman Missal, I simply don’t understand why such a change is necessary. My point in my earlier posts was that Vatican II only authorized changes that were clearly needed and would respect the long standing tradition of the Latin Church. The use of the Latin Language in the Latin Church goes all the way back to the Church’s foundation. After the Council of Trent, only those rites that had been around for more than 200 years remained in addition to the Roman Missal promulgated by St. Pius V. For 400 years the Mass had been offerred in Latin and posed no harm because of it. While Vatican II considered the possibility of including more vernacular in the Mass, it did not promote offering the entire Mass in the vernacular.
 
I recently attended a Tridentine Mass with my younger son. I enjoyed it. It was difficult to follow, but I after a couple of times it would be fine. My son had never seen people take communion kneeling around the altar, that was fun for him. It is nice to be able to attend a traditional mass once in a while. I don’t think I would like it every week.
