I don’t believe that we need a TLM at every parish. One every Vicariate will work. If they are consistently full, then add more.

Our parish has a TLM along with six other Holy Masses on the weekend. It’s beautiful with chant and all the smells and bells one could want.

There are about 100 people who show for it.
The NO Holy Masses are packed.

I believe they should be available, but let’s clean up the NO Holy Masses too. Seems that the TLM being available is an excuse for the progressives to keep the innovations in the NO.

Ultimately, is that possible?

“Seems that the TLM being available is an excuse for the progressives to keep the innovations in the NO.”

Some might say the NO was created for the progressives in the first place.

Sounds like a success to me. Seriously. The mass has intrinsic merits that apply, even if no one comes, right? I happen to believe the traditional liturgy a better form of worship: more coherent, core connected to the life of the Church. The traditional liturgy is the greatest artistic achievement in the history of the world, and its abandonment has been an act of barbarism. Can any person ignorant of it consider himself truly civilized? I doubt it.

Wow netmilsmom, do you happen to go to Sts Peter and Paul? That's a parish by us that has six holy masses plus one Tridentine on Sundays. And my husband and daughter and I just went to a Tridentine Mass on Jan.1, and then again on Jan.3 at the following Church in Chicago. It was incredible. I'd love to see more Tridentine Masses available.

I tried Tridentine and I never want to go back!
