Starting next week, St. Mary's will continue to hold Sunday Masses in Latin, but it will be in the form of the modern Mass, with different prayers from those of the Tridentine service.

EWTN has revised its Sunday liturgy to a High Mass in Latin. It follows the Novus Ordo Rite but is now completely in Latin with incense, brocade vestments, 6 candles on the altar. Most impressive and quite beautiful! No contemporary music either.

Mother Angelica once again demonstrates that the new Rite can follow the norms established by VCII.

It may look similar, but the prayers are different. And after all, that's what the Mass is made of, prayers. This kind of Mass is certainly preferable to what goes on in 99% of other places, but it's still a New Mass. Also, isn't it true that the local bishop forbade them to offer Mass ad orientem?
