>>Well, netmilsmom, whatever type of Mass you have at your parish, the good affect it has on you remains hidden. I suggest that now is the time to choose happiness.<<
I have. And your entire preface of Pre-VII vs. VII masses comes from this post #12.
“At my parish here in the Detroit area, we have not only a Pre-Vatican II Holy Mass (TLM) but also EVERY one of our masses are Historically correct VII masses, like you see on EWTN. No guitars, no talking in the main before or after, and proper dress. Although we don’t have an Altar rail, we have kneelers and receive kneeling by intiction on the tongue. I’ve even seen our priests hold a host up until a person opens his mouth.”
which was singing the praises of an Historically Correct VII (NO) mass. So I’m not sure where you get the “pre-Vatican-II” to mean “good” and “post-Vatican-II” to mean “bad”, but it wasn’t from me.
In your post 57 you embrace the good/bad dichotomy I decry, and you incorrectly note out that its the happy-clappy folks that don’t want people to employ those labels.
In fact, its the lefevbrites and the happy-clappys that typiclally use these labels perjoratively!
