"The main reason the Tridentine is not attended on a wider basis is demonstrated amply by the arrogance and condescension of its advocates on this very website."

The main reason the Tridentine is not attended on a wider basis is that it is not available to the faithful.
The secondary reason is that it has been lied about and bad-mouthed by clerics and other church leaders.

There is not one TLM in my entire state despite a petition of 1000 names presented to the bishop.I travel out of state to attend one every couple of months as it is a great distance. Our own priest says that having a TLM would be divisive. Why would this be divisive when teen Masses, Spanish Masses, and charismatic Masses are not?
