The only one obfuscating is you claiming that the term NO is offensive. Never in my life have I met anyone who thought this term was offensive. In any case, the main point wasn’t even about the term NO. It was that there is a resistance to the Latin Mass or to a renewal of some traditional practices in the Liturgy. That is very much the case. However it is getting less and less among younger members of the Church. To be honest I knew nothing about liturgy a few years ago, or about the changes post Vatican II. I just assumed that the NO was how mass had always been since the early church. More young people are becoming aware that a certain element of the traditions of the Church is missing in modern liturgy. And those young people want to see a renewal in those traditions. The problem in my opinion is that a lot of older people feel that this is a renewal in “rigidity” and going back to the bad old days. I’ll admit that some traditional catholics give a bad name to the rest of us, but there is a valid case to be made here for a certain renewal.
Unfortunately some people get offended by discussion of the past and historical fact. So that’s something that must be overcome in the long run.
