"When we went to Spain or Germany or Italy, it was in Latin, and always the same," said Rains, who grew up in Bordeaux. "You went to Mass and you felt that you were home. It was a wonderful tie, and I think we should go back to it. It made Mass universal."
Bingo!
Isn't that what it is supposed to be? "Universal" was not what I have experienced over years, when going from parish to parish. Of course, all this is post VatII (and not being able to find a Tridentine Mass around me). It can't be more simple than that...how are we to be "universal" if we keep the N.O. mass at "anyone's guess," depending on where it's said?
Fortunately, many of us are blessed in Phoenix that The Tridentine Mass is returning, albeit in only a very few parishes. I understand some of the younger priests are learning The Tridentine Rite, and are brushing up on their latin. Also, there are those who are (re)learing the Gregorian Latin Chants.
Though it is sad that this wonderful priest is retiring, he has left a raging, growing hunger for many to return to the holiness and reverence of Mass. I don't believe it will end there. The faith and desire kept vigil in Phoenix, and it finally is happening. I'm sure in other areas, it too will grow and flourish.
Yes, I think you are right. It's like an underground stream that is bound to burst forth in one place or another.
