You know what else, murph. My 20-year-old nephew, who is entering the seminary, was telling me the other day that he attended a Tridentine Mass for the first time and found himself quite literally in tears. He was so overwhelmed with the beauty and solemnity of it.

That was exactly my experience. I too am too young to remember the mass before VII, but now that I know it I would never go to a Novus Ordo by choice. Even the most reverent Novus Ordo pales in comparison, and besides there just aren't any reverent NO's in my diocese.

Is there are difference between the "Tridentine" Mass and the Latin Rite. I've heard so many various Masses mentioned in FR. I would like to understand better. (This is a plea for instruction!) :)
