There’s just something about the casualness with which the Novus Ordo is celebrated at times which can make one yearn for the solemnity with which the Latin Mass is celebrated. So much yacking in church before Mass. The priest on Sunday (Corpus Christi) said that a Pew poll a few years back showed that only 31% of those who profess to be Catholic believe in the Real Presence whereas 69% do not. So the bishops have started a three year campaign in an effort to stoke a Eucharistic revival.
Most to the point, they have kids. Lots of kids. Go into any the choir loft of church that has one, that has a novus ordo congregation, you will see old, Vatican II dinosaur gray-heads, but hardly any kids. I am 68, I socialize with elderly people at my TLM parish. At social events, where everyone shows up, there are hardly any elderly people, but scads of kids. We are out breeding the novus order. When the novus order finishes jumping over the lemming cliff, we will be there to start new cathedrals.
