The mumble-mumble Low Mass was something that the great pre-V2 Liturgical Movement was slowly but surely eradicating. A goodly number of TLMs today have moved well past that, whereby the Masses are audible and there is vocal participation on the part of the people.

Furthermore, it would be an ideal that today's "educated" Catholics be able to follow and understand the readings in the Latin language. The devout Jews can do the same for Hebrew, so why not the Catholics for Latin?

Thanks for the info. Interesting.

Just to clarify. My "mumblemumble" comment wasn't directed at the Tridentine Liturgy as a whole. Just the Epistle and Gospel.

Generally, I don't have a problem from the homily forwards.
