I was ready to give up all hope that the Church will return to the true Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. But then I decided I'd wait until I see it in ALL CAPS.

The TRUE Holy Sacrifice of the Mass takes place daily, in every corner of the globe. If you are referring to the Indult Tridentine Rite, then that too is said daily, around the world.

If, however, you expect that one day, the Vatican will suddenly announce they they erred in adopting the NO Mass, then you are sadly mistaken. The NO mass, as radical as it may seem to you, is here to stay. The church gives catholics two choices - the Novus Ordo mass or the Indult Tridentine Rite. If there is no Indult mass in your community, you should address this with your bishop.

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending the NO mass. That mass however addresses some of the errors that made their way into the Latin mass. (these have already beendiscussed here).

I was having a little fun in my previous post, but the serious point is, "How can you predict the future?" "Man proposes, but God disposes" -- we don't know what God has in store for us. Right now God seems to think that we need to be punished by taking away from us the grace of the sacraments and leaving us to rot in our sin. But in His Providence He may deign to be merciful and to give back to us the necessary means to live lives of grace and sanctity.
