"You're a traditionalist, Doctor. You will attend a Tridentine Mass over a Novus Ordo, if given the choice. That's what I'm saying."
For clarification purposes, what is a person who only attends a Tridentine Mass? (I thought that was the traditionalist.) What about one who would only attend a licit latin Mass over a non licit one? What is a person who has attended licit Novus Ordo Masses for over 30 years but has a desire to touch base with the Mass of childhood and First Sacraments? Why does tradition have to carry such undertones for you? I am grateful to be at any licit Mass these days as the future looks bleak and the present has such sordid newstories...and perhaps that makes many harken back.
Why does tradition have to carry such undertones for you? It only carries dark undertones when it is used to beat down those who happen to have no problem with the Novus Ordo.
I'm in favor of a multiplicity of choices. Our parish has a Tongan Mass, a Hispanic Mass, a Vietnamese Mass, a quiet Mass, a Youth Mass.
A Tridentine Mass means some other group of Catholics is provided the means to worship God in the way they desire.
Bring it on.
