I think the title says it all, just curious
I do not attend the Mass.I think the title says it all, just curious![]()
My home parish offers the NO Mass which is the Mass I attended all my life.
Although recently I had the opportunity to attend a Rememberance Day( Veteran’s Day) service at a Ukrainian Catholic parish. I found the Eastern rite service very beautiful in it’s own way.
I have never been to a Tridentine Mass, but I would like to attend one( as long as it is in Communion with Rome, of course) to see what it is like. I imagine it would be similar to the Eastern rite Liturgy.
I regret that I did not get to experience a Mass or Divine Liturgy while overseas (on military deployment) in Sofia, Bulgaria or Budapest, Hungary.
It makes me sad to see all of the debates/arguments over which celebration is more right or reverent. What makes us Catholic( which means “universal” by the way) is that we are all united in our beliefs and faith through Rome. The way in which we express that faith (as long as it is in Communion with Rome) should not matter. Rather, we should celebrate the different customs and traditions which makes us truly universal. Abuses can occur in any tradition and it is the abuse that should be condemded, not the tradition itself.
I think our time would be better spent trying to win back our Protestant brothers and sisters, or how about even non-Christians, rather than cause division among ourselves. How do you defeat an enemy? By dividing and conquering. That is what satan is trying to do. He already divided us at the reformation and it would be sad to contribute to his efforts.
Y’ALL in Atlanta is lucky!!! Six Masses on Christmas Day!!!We are particularly blessed in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. We have a personal parish of the Fraternity of Saint Peter. I am able to attend a Traditional Latin Mass everyday! I have not been to a Novus Ordo since sometime before Lent (except the Chrism Mass, which I regret attending). In any event, I will be going to a Novus Ordo for my cousin’s wedding this summer. Her fiance’s uncle is the priest. I will have to be an altar boy; I do not know if I will be able to stand the culture (liturgical) shock, but I will do my best.
Thanks for lighting up my day katolik by saying thatSadly in your diocese there is only one TLM every 2nd Sunday at S.Jung Ha Sang Church www.latinmass.org/states/alberta.html
the SSPX[unapproved or aprroved depending on your opinion] also has a TLM every 1st Sunday at the Maronite Catholic CHurch in Edmonton www.sspx.ca/Alberta/Edmonton.htm ]
Hey, a saint said that, the only priest-stigmatist in the history of the Church. I listen to the saints.Thanks for lighting up my day katolik by saying that. Then again i hope you know that the TLM isn’t the norm any more so it kind of makes sense for it to be celebrated less. But you that already knew that eh katolik? You seem so smart I mean look at your signature! You think our brothers The Jews Are Enemies! i mean the old testament is originally from them(they recieved it) yet they are enemies according to you… so intelligent eh katolik
