This is the experience of all people coming to the awareness of a Catholic Faith that has been ripped and stripped away from them; hidden, buried, suppressed, the descriptions are endless.

Dear pascendi,

It is one thing to experience the worship of God the Almighty, as the Catholic Church had done for centuries before; it is entirely different to lambaste every single thing the Church does now or the people who attend the Churches that do things that aren't entirely orthodox.

Fact is that most folks, and even most devout Catholic folks aren't interested in their patrimony. They attend Sunday mass out of devotion to God and their obligation. That's it. If, on the other hand, you have been graced by God to seek out the Tridentine mass through your study and understanding, and find it more appealing, as I do, then you should merely applaud it's attributes, not decry the deficiencies of any other rite.

Except for the SSPX, of course.
