As far as I can tell, St. Chuck and I are the only ones who argue consistently for the vernacular Novus Ordo, celebrated according to the GIRM.

Your point? Perhaps it's because your side of the argument is now out on the fringe (and getting fringier all the time).

I attend a NO mass most of the time. I'm not in any sense a "radical" when it comes to the liturgy. However, since I attended my first Tridentine mass a couple years ago, I have come to find it, on the whole, superior to the NO mass. I judge this or something similar to be the feeling of most of us Catholics here on FR. If that makes us "radical trads" in your mind, then so be it. As far as I can tell, you are one of the few people who consistently shows disdain for the Latin mass and uses someone's attachment to it as the basis for accusations of sedevacantism, schism, etc.

Face it, sinky, you're clinging to something that's slowly but surely being made obsolete. I know it grates on you. After all, the young Turks of the 1960s and 70s were supposed to change and reform the Church--not be rejected as a cheesy failure by a new generation 30 years later.

See? You're Exhibit A of what I was talking about.

The Novus Ordo is not being made obsolete. As I said in my previous post, those who favor the Tridentine Mass should be provided the Tridentine Mass. Let a thousand flowers bloom in the Church.

Actually, I don't. I show disdain for those who use the Latin Mass to prove that they, somehow, are so damn much better than those of us who like a dignified Novus Ordo liturgy. After all, how could we possibly be good Catholics if we worship God in a language we can actually understand?

I accuse schismatics of being in schism because they are. Most of the schismatics say that the Novus Ordo is invalid, that it is Protestant, that it fosters dissent and even clerical abuse.The Novus Ordo is going nowhere, my friend. I just hope those of you want the Tridentine Liturgy get your wish.

You go to your Mass, I'll go to mine, and we'll meet at the parish picnic.
