While that is true, what is your point? I was born during the council and had never experienced a Latin Mass until early last year. Many Jewish children with whom I grew up learned Hebrew. Are you saying Catholics can't learn Latin? After trying the Latin Mass, I decided I liked it. In fact, I preferred it.

I, too was born in the 1960s and never experienced the old Mass. I think I am going to try it. I have to drive about 40 miles, but I normally have to drive 20 miles to Mass anyhow.

To tell you the truth, I'm perhaps a little intimidated...How easy was it for you to catch on to the different ways things are done in the old Mass?

It can be lovely to worship in another language, especially an older one. My children did fine with Old Church Slavonic for a lot of years.
