Yes, it isn't just about the Mass. If Benedict XVI grants permission for an unrestricted use of the Missal of Pius V, this still won't be enough to satisfy super Catholics, such as yourself. Finally, a little honesty from the Traditionalists: Rome must declare Vatican II to be "null and void." Every priest who has been ordained since 1968 (and this would include my brother) would have to be re-ordained. Presumably every sacrament that he and the others have celebrated since their ordination would also be null and void. Every couple married since 1968 (including my husband and myself) would have to be remarried. I guess our six children are all illegitimate. Do you really know how ridiculous you sound? Grow up.

"Every couple married since 1968 (including my husband and myself) would have to be remarried"

If you read the article... it stated an exemption for the marraiges since fortunately...that sacrament wasn't watered down too much. (I also should have included Baptism) And I quote myself:

"All sacraments – with the exception of marriages – would have to be redone to ALL Catholics (under the age of thirty-36, or if you converted after 1970) throughout the world using the old rites."

The only problem was how the "anullment mills" got cranked up and so many marriages were dissolved due to insane reasons (i.e. I just don't love him/her anymore)

If you compare the rites of the sacraments of the Old Rite to the New Rite and honestly STUDY them...you can see where there are some very serious questions in validity.

And actually redoing the sacraments such as Confession/Penance, Holy Eucharist, and probably even Confirmation would not be that big of "chore". Wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry?

Holy Orders is a whole other kettle of fish.

You term me as a "super Catholic" -- what exactly is that supposed to mean? Do I have a costume...a cape? Can I fly? Do I have a secret identity?

What is it about traditional,pre-Vatican II Catholics that scare the Novus Ordians so much?

You state that you got "honesty from the Traditionalists"..what about a little honesty from the Novus Ordians.. is the "mass" the same no matter where you go? Or do you have to figure out what novelty they are going to do this week?

Do you honestly think that transubstantiation takes place with the New Canon? And if so, how can you justify communion in the hand? If Jesus is present to the smallest particle, then why commit such a sacrilage by scattering His Divine Body on the floor?

Remember...I used to subscribe to the Novus Ordo... I served the altar for 10 years...with a very devout and conservative priest that was ordained under the old rite.

It was after I left that church(as in moving on with my life to another city) and saw the abuses that took place..that may me start to wonder. Then after the santo subitio of JP2 after he died...that was the last straw.
