That’s a good thing.
As a non-Catholic, I have to say that the Catholic Mass is a beautiful and moving experience, especially in Latin. If my own faith had something similar I might go back to church.
It’s a shame my wife’s Uncle Leo isn’t around to see this happening. What he saw happening in his Church during the last 40 years of his life broke his heart.
If you want to see videos of our Corpus Christi procession and benediction, here are some links:

Okay ... that begs the question ... what is your own faith?
Do you mean at the ordinations in the Cathedral?
We have a fine parish, it's N.O. but we use a lot of Latin.
If you want to go hard core, we also have St. Francis de Sales, Mableton, which is a Latin Mass parish run by another of the orders devoted to the Tridentine -- the FSSP (Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri - Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter).
The contrast between the outside of the church and the inside is almost mind-boggling (it used to be a little Baptist chapel):
The unfortunate Presbyterian church which has literally been ripped in two by social activism and a dilettante's interest in leftist causes.
Last I recall the Eucharist was a perfunctory exercise, but it's been a long time.
I'm glad my grandmother isn't around to see what's happened.
Thanks for the invite, I think that’s a long way from Virginia.
Yep.

Mass there is *beautiful.* Fr. Lenhardt is a truly holy man. God bless Archbishop Burke for inviting them. I wish I could convince my husband to make St. Francis de Sales our parish home, but he doesn’t see the point. All I can do is pray and keep asking to attend the occasional Sunday Mass there.
Other than exaggerated antiquity of the TLM, the article was good. I am happy to see our Latin brothers and sisters being able toe xperience what the Estern churches experience every Sunday.
Hopefully, this will not be just a fad.
Virginia?

Maybe one of these Latin Mass centers is near you?
That’s just wonderful! V’s wife
Lucky you. I wish I could be there. I am looking forward to the photos, and possibly videos, that will be posted on the Web.
Why not go to Mass??? Has no one invited you to go with them? Catholics don’t usually do that, but I go to dailt Mass and there are quite a few non-Catholics there every day and especially on Sunday.
