"Not all of us younger Post-V2 Catholics want the Tridentine Mass to be a carbon copy of the liturgical culture of the 1950's."
A hearty Amen to that.
My Juventutem/WYD experience was full-on Solemn High, through-sung, Latin liturgy unambiguously for the glory of God and our own sanctification. It is my intention to, as they say, "bring it".
At the Indult Masses I will soon direct choirs for (if you know singers in Queens and Brooklyn, send them to me!) it is the pastor's intention and my task to have the Masses be through-sung Dialogue Masses with Gregorian propers. I will teach the pastor the sung formulas for the readings and prayers. And, no, we will never force the faithful to sing the parts that pertain to them, but only encourage them while respecting their liberty to worship as they please (as I understand this is Eastern Rite practice).
While I appreciate the pregnant silence of the Low Mass, High Mass was to be the norm for Sundays and solemn feasts. That is what Vatican II intended. Options for a partially vernacular celebration of the classical Latin Rite were given in the 1965 Missal, whose revisions I believe were inspired at least in part by Eastern praxis, based on my experience of English-language Divine Liturgy at the DC Basilica in June, and the "low" Syro-Malabar Divine Liturgy celebrated at Juventutem by Bp. Alencherry of Thuckalay, India. Unfortunately (or fortunately - we shall see what comes out of the synod), this organically-developed revision of the liturgy was unceremoniously dumped after less than 5 years for the novus Ordo Missae, while valid, some have called a "chastisement".
Kolokotronis - I cannot thank the East enough for her examples. While it's said that we Latins are first among equals, I firmly believe that it also means we're first when it comes to institutional blockheadedness. God knows we've proven it time and time again. Pray for us!
(For those interested in the 1965 Missal, a 21-year old student has started a blog dedicated to its study and makes a compelling case for its being the revision intended by Vatican II. I find I am thus far in complete agreement with this thesis. http://traditionalromanmass.blogspot.com/ )
