I hope this isn't too far off-topic.

I think Latin is beautiful, and I'm trying to learn it.

I'm starting by concentrating on learning hymns in Latin, beginning with those that have the same melody as their counterparts in English. I've been through a number of hymnals, the Liber Usualis (Solemses Gregorian Chant), and the internet trying to find as many as I can.

If the Novus Ordo is left in place, I would, at minimum, want to see a smattering of Latin hymns and Gregorian chant back at Mass.

(I'd much rather see, at minimum, some kind of cross between the Novus Ordo and Tridentine, with the priest facing away from the congregation.)

There's LatinTeach, and many other resources, including some discussion groups on Yahoo.

I think Latin is beautiful too,as well as Gregorian Chant.My parish has the Novus Order(in Latin),the way Pope Paul V1 wanted the revised to be on Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m.It's beautiful.In my area of Southern California,it's possible to go to the Tridentine Mass every Sunday at 1:30p.m.at one parish.It's very conventient.

I suspect many parishes will go in this direction over time, but you need sympathetic Bishops. In Latin the Novus Ordo is much more doctrinally sound then in the ICEL translation, and those parishes that do it in Latin tend to use the Latin hymes and the chants. We have one up here we go to from time to time, and we also have an Indult we go to a bit more frequently.

The thing that I like the best is kneeling for the Eucharist.

Me too! My parish sang certain parts of the liturgy in Latin during this past Lent, and that inspired me to try to learn Latin and begin going to Traditional Latin Masses twice a month. Growing up with a neutered, politically-correct liturgy has left me feeling cheated, so I'm glad for the chance to discover the Church as it was meant to be!

Those noun declensions are tough to master, eh?
