I like aspects of the EF and tradition, but I don’t push my views on others. I also think when one becomes pushy then the other person feels less inclined to learn about the tradition
 
Because it’s easier to focus on the bad than the good. The same thing can go for why Catholic priests have a reputation for being pedophiles despite that the vast majority are not.
 
Have you found Lat(name removed by moderator)hiles to be pushy in real life? Of course, on the internet, everyone seems pushy.
 
An angel’s smile is what they sell. They promise us Heaven, but put us through Hell.
 
It’s from the Bon Jovi song “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
 
I think it has something to do with people who are “rule-based” law and order type folks aren’t always good at persuasion. Same way with Republicans, who I believe are on the correct side of a lot of issues, are terrible at “selling” their position.

Actually the correct side is to be catholic( universal)… that’s a mark of the church. To love both novus ordo and EF…
 
A lot of traditionalist tend to say novus ordo is wrong, communion in hand is wrong, etc… this turns people off from authentic tradition such as learning about the EF
 
I used to love the OF, until I started reading about it, and Vatican II, and liturgy. And then once I went to an EF Mass, I realized how much the Church had lost in the 1960s and 1970s. :cry:

But at the same time, you can’t say a dogmatic constitution is wrong.
We pay taxes, under pain of sin, even if we disagree with a tax. Taxes are a much more trivial matter than disciplines of the church
 
What dogmatic constitution? Sorry, I don’t know what that is, so I am not saying that one is wrong. All I know is that centuries worth of tradition and meaning got lost (ruined on purpose, really) in the 60s and 70s.

Sacrosanctum concilium… from Vatican 2… I thought you read about it???
 
Okay I guess I don’t immediately recall the term “dogmatic constitution”.
 
Thank you… I like both EF and OF… but ultimately I crave true love(God)

If you read about Vatican II and not the actual documents, you will be getting someone else’s spin.

You really should read them, especially the Dogmatic Constitution of Sacred Liturgy before you can critique what happened.
 
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison, you can’t break free
Wohhhh, you’re a loaded gun, yeah
 
I’m reading Sacrosanctum Concilium now (I know I’ve read it before, but it’s been a while). It’s sad to see the way things worked out in real life. I would say more, but it would probably get the thread shut down…🤐
