I believe there is a legitimate place for the Tridentine Liurgy in the Church today-which is the view of the Holy Father.I hope that PiusX will accept this call to unity,and it's necessary condition- integrity and obedience,without breaking the attitude abd heart of the traditional spirit.

As a SSPX Mass attendee I would like to say that we did not leave The Church, The Church left us. This attempt at false ecumenism is nothing more than the modernists saying 'you're ok because everyone is ok'

The Vatican's position re. the Society of St. Pius X is irrational. Here's why. (1) Recent Vatican documents have lifted the excommunications on Lutherans and the Greek Orthodox - neither of which recognizes the RC Magisterium (which implies that they are in “a new sort of communion” with Rome, since they are not excommunicated from Rome). (2) The Vatican’s 1993 Directive on Ecumenism encourages Catholics to associate with Protestants in their liturgies - (#s 118, 191, 213). This clearly means that if the Society, which unquestionably accepts the Magisterium in all of its 20 Councils prior to Vat. II, is excommunicated, all that the Society needs to do is join the Magisterium-denying Lutherans or Greek Orthodox and the Society will no longer be excommunicated. The “spirit of Vatican II” documents allow for this absurdity.

It follows with necessity that the position of all Society-bashers is also absurd. If the bashers believe that the Society is Protestant, then, to be consistent with “the spirit of Vat. II documents”, they must (1) treat the Society’s members as brothers - you don’t bash brothers (see the Vat. II document Unitate Redintegratio [1964] #3) and (2) happily attend the Society’s Mass with reverence (since the 1993 Directive encourages you to do so).

Benedict XVI, in his Regensburg address, demands that Christianity be logical. Thus you should stop the absurdity of your Society-bashing.
The scholastic traditionist

The Mass is a wonderful celebration of our Lord's victory. "It is accomplished" he declared with his last breath. What did Jesus accomplsh? Our redemption, our liberation from the state Adam and Eve had put us in! The Mass is our opportunity, as his people, to thank the Father for this wonderful plan, the Son for accomplishing it and The Holy Spirit for giving us the grace and strength to be true followers. It is also our opportunity to be in Communion with the Lord and with each other. Most probably the very First Communion service was conducted in Aramic according to Jewish customs. Latin, English, French … does it really matter. While we concentrate on the superficials - rituals and mantras - we forget that the Mass is all about LOVE. Sad.
