I don't know from where they're getting their 64% figure. I know about 10 people in a parish of 3000 families who would prefer a return to the Latin Mass, and most of the people with whom I'm friendly tend to be orthodox Catholics. Are they including in the 64% those who would like to see it available, but not exclusive?

The last Latin Mass I attended was in 1987, and frankly it didn't do anything for me that the recent Mass doesn't do. Someone who is likely to be bored at the recent Mass will likely be bored at a Latin Mass. Those who pay attention, and for whom the Mass is truly a Celebration of Christ's Sacrifice, Death and Resurrection would likely be happy with either, though some may like the Latin more than the vernacular.

I wouldn't mind attending a Mass in Latin, but I wouldn't want to see a return to the Mass in Latin only. We don't need the pendulum to swing completely in the opposite direction, we only need some balance.

"Those who pay attention, and for whom the Mass is truly a Celebration of Christ's Sacrifice, Death and Resurrection would likely be happy with either, though some may like the Latin more than the vernacular."

It's true that it is the same Sacrifice, but it's not just a matter of paying attention. Just read and compare a Missal and a Missalette, you will not get the same impression of the Mass just from the way it is said and the wording of the prayers. For this to happen, it will need someone with a very very very strong faith AND that he know what the Church really teaches about the Mass: this is not very much likely to be found in the US among most people who attend the New Order of the Mass, not even among many priests.

Also, there is something more to the use of Latin instead of the vernacular than just that Latin is a different language. You make it sound as if returning to Latin only would be an oppression, or that it wasnt a good idea all along. The use of Latin only is in no way an obstacle to becoming a Saint; just look at al the Saints, especially St. John Vianney... Latin was not his strong suit and yet he became the Patron Saint of Parish priests. However,all the obstacles at many New Order Parishes can be real obstacles.
