All ‘popes’ elected by the College of Cardinals subsequent to Vatican II are null and void. The last legal pope was Pope Pius XII. The entire Vatican II fiasco negates the current Vatican and its inhabitants as well as all ‘catholic’ churches that follow Vatican II edicts.
There are quite a few Latin chapels spread about the United States, Canada and South America; unfortunately, they are few and far.
Latin is a high school course,m of course. A Traditional Catholic learns the mass by regular attendance and using their missal.
My parents, back in the day, had their own missals, which they brought with them to Mass. If you bring your own missal when you travel, no problem. I think soldiers used to bring them along when they deployed, like in WWII.
If Pope and FBI are against it, then it must be the real deal.
Joshua, Your ignorance is amazing and yet very sad. The Latin Mass is a solemn dramatic RITE that was established over 2000 a year period and was destroyed in a few days. Understanding Latin is immaterial.
The nearest Tridentine Latin Mass is about an hour away from us, a similar distance as the Byzantine liturgy. Personal preference, but I will attend the Eastern Rite, which is every bit as traditionalist as the Tridentine, when I go that far.
My local rural parish has a solid, young priest who celebrates the Novus Ordo with many of the prayers in Latin and ad orientum. It is a beautiful mass that attracts lots of young families.
It's called Catholic Grammar School, Catholic H.S., and for some of us Seminary (a year at least for me).
But don't ask me for much more than a Pater Noster at this point.
Should have read "... modest differences in pronunciation and vocabulary from ...".
