I think the return of the Tridentine Mass is a great development for the Phoenix-area Church. I consider myself to be a traditionalist. One thing that is clear from all the discussion about the Traditional Latin Mass. However, to a lot of traditionalists, the problem isn't "just" about the Mass (though it's a very important component). It's also all of the sacraments and the teachings of the Church. Will the new bishop allow the sacraments to be celebrated in the "old" way too? And to Fr. Pfeiffer and his flock: when will you be satisfied?

I do not see the Latin as the problem facing the church or the Mass itself. What is- is a complete disregard for the liturgy Latin or not- altar girls, t-shirts and shorts for Mass- clapping during music- "feel good" homilie- and the worst is those parishoners who decide to arrive during the consecration- and then after receiving the bread/wine head straight for the door and not the pew.
