No dispensation is needed to celebrate the Novus Ordo in Latin. None.

Perhaps the Bishops need to be informed of this, after all, the reason it went to the vernacular was so everyone could understand it, no?

I don't "confuse" the two Masses. I've been a Catholic for 53 years.

Ok, so you just confuse Consecration with Mass - got it.

Since you're new here, be assured that you're not the first traditionalist to say what you've said. We've heard every last bit of it.

I don't mind being labeled as a Traditionalist - do you mind being labeled as a novus ordo?

That was one of the reasons. But you said a bishop's permission was needed to celebrate the Novus Ordo in Latin, and that is false.

No I didn't.

Certainly not. I prefer "Catholic." Do you prefer "Catholic", or do you insist on separating yourself from Catholics who attend the Novus Ordo?
