I wonder how ONE Sunday Mass per week, IN LATIN, would go for parishes in the world. I sure would like it. It could be an early-bird Mass or a special afternoon Mass.

I wonder if that kind of thing acceptable or prohibited.
I always forget to ask our parish priests when I see them.

According to Rome (and VatII) it has never been "prohibited".

However, it's your bishop's call.

"I wonder if that kind of thing acceptable or prohibited."

Here's the picture I have drawn of that.

Satan wanted the Tridentine Mass stomped out permanently. He was on the verge of succeeding, through the efforts of modernists, when some men refused to let it happen.

In the ensuing scandal and confrontation, the Vatican backed down just a tad by giving bishops the authority to issue an indult permitting the otherwise prohibited Mass. However, the bishops also have the authority to refuse the indult, and most are very miserly with it.

Further, no priest is authorized to refuse to celebrate, or concelebrate, the Novus Ordum. So much for freedom of conscience. And don't forget, wherever freedom of conscience is trampled, you'll detect the stench of Satan.

I had a discussion recently with a permanent deacon here on the subject of kneeling to receive communion. He actually argued that standing was *more* reverent than kneeling because standing is a "uniform posture," as though there were some connection between uniformity and reverence.

I asked him what a Catholic should do when his bishop defies the Holy Father, and without missing a beat, without the slightest hesitation, he answered, "Obey your bishop."

That's the kind of wrongheaded crap you're up against.

Saint Pius X was absolutely correct to call these men "enemies of the Church."
