The pope needs to urgently have the Vatican force the Archdiocese of San Francisco to provide numerous Latin Masses throughout the city each Sunday. Eventually there ought to be Latin Mass, the 1962 version on a daily basis also. As an Irish immigrant, I simply refuse to ever again attend the "circus Mass" as read in English.

The changes of 1962 are still very, very, very drastic (those changes spanned 300 pgs!); it is no longer the "unchanging rule of worship" that is the Canonized Roman Mass, but just the 1962 Missal.

Anything pre-Bugnini is much preferred.

This is truly wonderful news,but it is only the very first step on the road of the true restoration of the Church. If the Holy Father really means business,it would be most helpful on his part, if he began by celebrating the Mass of ALL times in public himself,pour encourager les autres so to speak. If this were to happen,then perhaps his modernist fellow bishops would begin to take notice of what he says on this issue.Laus plurima Deo!

I have been celebrant at the Latin "Novus Ordo" Mass for nigh on two years. We havea sung High Mass on Sundays at 12:30 P.M. and a weekly low Mass on Wednesdays at 7:00 A.M. While the church is not packed, people come from long distances for this opportunity...The reverence for the Church and the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle is tremendous and noticeablly different from the lack of reverence displayed at the other English liturgy. Father John

Fred: It will be interesting to see how many bishops will push this DVD. I think not many.

This is great news!! The Latin Mass creates a holy, respectful and awesome enviorment for the faithful to truly pray. One immediately feels as though they are in the presence of God. It has been so difficult for many faithful to concentrate enough to pray at Mass with all the talking going on and the disrespect shown towards Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. I have heard many Catholics voice this complaint.
Thank you!!!

"The Cannon Regulars of St John Cantius have on their sanctamissa.org great information and videos on the latin Rite Mass."

Unfortunately, and I mean tragically, and I hate writing it, but for the health of the Church we must stop being silent: the Canons Regular at St. John Cantius also promote chatting inside the church after mass, and their famous choir not only permits but features gay activists (not just gay people) and non-Catholics. In fact, they have all the problems of any other novus ordo parish, with everything pushed under the rug. More needs to be reformed than just the liturgy, and the proof is St. John Cantius.

"What we truly need now are priests that are eager to learn it and offer it, hopefully on a weekly basis."

Rod! On a daily basis! Daily! Give us reverent traditional daily mass! We have to nourish saints!

AMEN

I truly believe the Latin Mass in our Catholic Churches is just what is needed. There would be respect and reverence to our Lord. There would be unity to all the Catholic Churches.

Vatican II was to be totally different to what is being offered in our Churches today. People found easy loop holes and took advantage to run the Mass according to them and not according to the Pope and God Himself. We are sould searching for the truth and the God is Truth and Love.

May we pray daily for the conversion of the hearts of the Bishops and priests so that the Mass my become what it really is...a bloodlyless Calvary.

I am glad to see that Pope Benedict corrects the mistakes of his modernist predecessors.

This is wonderful!I have been waiting for this to happen for such a long time, including the kneeling while receiving communion in tongue.I attend Latin Mass atleast once a month in the only one parish here in Tucson,I feel lucky,it feels like you are getting a preview of heaven, even if you donot understand Latin, just being there from beginning to end of mass is all Holy and Heavenly!Traditional and Latin Mass is always the best!
God bless you all and give thanks, blessing, honor, worship and praise to the Mighty and Only One, forever and ever. Amen!

I quit going to church after Vatican II.
Then I found a traditional Latin Church in Orlando, FL. It was just like being in 6th grade again and I loved it. Then we moved to TN and sometimes I still cry during mass. The priest does nothing except consecrate the host.
THe music is horrible. There is no reverence in church, people talk all the time. I blame Vatican II on the way the world is today.

This is good news, but only a first step. What we truly need now are priests that are eager to learn it and offer it, hopefully on a weekly basis.

That is wonderful news. I would be eager to read about it and purchase it.

Ad Experimentum
A Rite on Trial


“What happened after the Council (Vatican II) was something else entirely. In the place of liturgy as the fruit of development came fabricated liturgy. We abandoned the organic, living process of growth and development over centuries, and replaced it--as in a manufacturing process—with a fabrication, a banal on the spot product.” Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, The Reform of the Roman Liturgy (1993) preface

Only the future would tell whether or not this new rite would be commonly accepted and here to stay.” The Reform of the Roman Liturgy, Monsignor Klaus Gamber, pg. 91

Trend v. Tradition

“Ritus can be defined as mandatory forms of the liturgical cult that, in the final analysis, originated with Christ, and then, based on shared traditions, developed independently, and were later officially sanctioned by the Church hierarchy.” Klaus Gamber, The Reform of the Roman Liturgy, 1993, pg. 27

When a trend lasts for enough time, a custom is born. If a custom continues to span generations it becomes a tradition. Over a thousand years of tradition is precisely why it would be impossible for any Pope to abolish the ancient ritus Romanus, also known as the Tridentine Mass.


Trendy fabrications started at Novus Ordo Masses have caused many desertions from that

Great! Maybe now we can return the Third Confiteor in its proper place in the Mass? or maybe not?

Fantastic.
I was 9 years old living in Italy and would accompany my great aunt to afternoon rosary. We would recite in Latin.
I hope we will be able to receive details on how to purchase the dvd-cd.
Sincerely,
Maria

I think this is sad. After all that Vatican Two tried to accomplish. God Bless And Keep John The Twenty Third and Paul The Sixth.

Kenneth Acord - you will wait - wait and wait some more for the Mass of Pius Vth and Xth as the Mass moved on with numerous changes over the centuries from Pius Vth - the last OFFICIAL change was by John XX111 in 1962 - ergo THIS is the Tridentine Mass of to-day - or as some would have it - The extraordinary form ! To which you can assist at any SSPX chapel
God bless

Is it the 1962 latin Mass or is it the 1963 Missal? In your spanish section (http://www.aciprensa.com/noticia.php?n=26446) one can read:

“Preparan DVDs para aprender la Misa según el Misal de 1963”

The Cannon Regulars of St John Cantius have on their sanctamissa.org great information and videos on the latin Rite Mass.

I want the Mass as it was celebrated in
the time of Pope Saint Pius V, and Pope
Saint Pius the X.

It will be interesting to see how many Catholic conservative media outlets, which have often been hostile to "traditional" Catholics, will promote - or even carry - this Vatican-issued product.

Great news. Please let us know when details appear on buying the cd-thanks and regards-Ray Ryan
