Theoden,

My note to you in Post #9 was so poorly written that I thought you justly deserve better:

Glad to include your name to the list. There is so much goodness within the internet that it would take ten lifetimes to absorb the inspired writings He caused to be placed there for each of us.

It is the calling of each Catholic to follow in the footpaths of His disciples; that being the sharing our knowledge of His wonders and love with the ignorant, heathen, pagan and false god idolaters - converting them to the One True Faith.

God knows our work is compounded by the fact that we live in a House of sinners who daily, and wrongly, don the mantle of Shepards of the faithful, while verbally, and with pen, display their total contempt for all that is 'Catholic'.

Your brother in Jesus Christ,

Robert

Thank you. I appreciate the nice response that you gave me. I am only 21, and I have only attended a Tridentine Mass once, and a Stations of the Cross in Latin once. My Monsignor was trained pre-Vatican II and was capable of this. I feel that I missed out on a lot by not being able to experience the "Universal Nature" that the old Mass provides the Catholic Church.

If the rumors hold true, and Pope Benedict XVI allows for the widespread use of the Latin Mass, I will start attending regularly if they are done at my Church, otherwise, I will stay with the Norvus Ordo Mass that we currently have, as I am loyal to my Church and I am not a fan of "shopping around". I agree with the Holy Father that Vatican II was very necessary, yet is was widely misinterpreted. It looks to be that he is fixing all of the errors that came of it. I know that Mass in the vernacular brought my mother into the Church, she was a Missouri Synod Lutheran before she converted. Thanks again.

Pax Vobiscum,

Theoden
