Who would be happy if every parish had to have a TLM Mass

I wished my diocese would have a few so I did not have travel 50+ miles to attend an ExtraOrdinary Form Mass. So far, I have found none.

I have gone to 2 EF Masses, one in a small chapel, one in an older & large church, and look forward to go more to them. I will still attend Ordinary Form, but if I can go once a month or so to EF (weather permitting) that will be good for me due to the drive (and gas prices).
 
I would be very happy to have an EF Mass within fifty miles of my home.
Seven hour round trip is hard to handle and expensive.
 
But it should not replace the NO.
Absolutely NOT. I was 28 yrs. old when the TLM., the Mass that I’d been raised with, just disappeared. Our wedding was part of the TLM. Nuptial Mass, my Grandfathers & other relatives who’d died left this world with Mozart’s Requiem Mass as their “send off”, plus MANY prayers, Masses offered, Spiritual Bouquets offered for their salvation.

I would never want to take away someone’s precious Mass…been there, survived it & would never do it to another person.

I just thank God that I can once again attend the Mass of the Ages & think that one should be available in every parish…but never be mandatory as the Novus Ordo was in 1969.

My parish offers one TLM. at 12:30PM. on Sunday. I wish it was at a better hour, but, after 40+ years, I’m just grateful to have one to attend.
 
Wow, ancient thread come back to life.
I voted no. While I love and appreciate the Extraordinary Form (and the Ordinary Form), I don’t think it’s needed to require every parish to offer it. I’m thinking in my diocese of the many tiny and widely spread out parishes in rural Eastern Kentucky, with one priest covering several distant parishes. Adding an EF at each one would be quite a burden and there probably wouldn’t be much call for it.
I do, however, think that every bishop ought to be required to ensure consistent and relatively easy access to the EF to the residents of at least all major population centers in the diocese.
