John29270I know, but the one thing I adored about the TLM was that one day a Gautamalan came into my parish, he picked up a Latin-Spanish Missal and for an hour and a half, we spoke the same language. A friend of mine, before he converted, regularly attended TLM together. But, yes getting obsessed with Latin and other pre-Vatican II goodies isn't too healthy for the faith either. I've spoken with sedevacantists who think the faith is just an intellectual chess game.

@John29270 Actually you do participate in the Traditional LAtin Mass. When we go to the Tridentine MAss, our hearts our united to JEsus Christ at the Foot of the Altar.Also the Tridentine MAss has inspired Artists, Musicians, Saints many of the Beautiful Missa Cantata were written by Top Composers in Europe along with Artists and the Intellegensia community.

@John29270 Um most of the people who attend the Tridentine MAss are young Catholics. Most of the New vocations are in REligous Orders that celebrate the TRaditional Rite.

@TenderTrap86 I don't complain about Latin. But with the Mass in the vernacular I think this helps participation more fully, helps people/young/new people joining our church to understand the Mass more easily. Good liturgy is important for dialogue with our heavenly Father. Getting obsessed with the Latin can cause us to regard our faith as elitist, our faith as private and personal and deflect from our real mission in the world.

@dcrippen Following the Mass without a prayer sheet makes the dialogue come alive... try it. Study the scripture on Friday evening then listen to the Word proclaimed at Sunday Mass without following it in your missal and God will speak to you vividly.

John29270Yeah but that's the problem. There are so many Catholics who complain about Latin, but the Jews speak Hebrew and the Muslims, Arabic. Why not have our own language?PS I've also come to grips with the NO.

@John29270 Sorry @latinflava05 my repost was directed to stealthbomber. However, first half may apply to your leaning.
John29270(November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
@latinflava05 Your comments condemn you. There is more to the catholic faith than the Latin Mass. There is more than one way of looking at things. What does your baptism say to you? |
