Imagine a small church packed with hundreds of people (SRO) on a hot summer day. A few fans whirled above to circulate the torpid air ... He [the priest] is wearing heavy vestments which only add to his personal discomfort in the heat of the day ...

The TLM that you experience today, is held in an air conditioned church with microphones that enable you to follow along, even on the hottest day of the year.

It certainly seems you are focusing on the discomfort of hot summer days, NYer. Do you think it would have been less uncomfortable if you attended an Eastern Catholic rite on those hot summer days in your childhood?

Dear friend, rather than attack my response, it would be most helpful to know if you were around in the 1950s. Nothing I post will make sense without that context. Thank you for a response to that question.
