Your inference is not always true.

We have a priest-friend who would not celebrate the Old Rite because he simply did not know, (and would not learn) enough about Latin to do it well.

In combination with the official "frowns" from the Chancery up here, that was enough to produce the necessary inertia.

OTOH: I don't doubt for a moment that the underlying thesis of "Windswept House" applies to a number of individuals, wholly. PRAY mightily for them.

Ninenot,I was only speaking to "those that recoil" at the mention of a Latin Mass.I suggest it to a lot of priests and most respond reasonably,even if I don't agree with them.It was only the ones that shrink from the suggestion that I started to think about the supernatural powers of the Latin. Sorry,I wasn't clearer.to the best of my recollections,over thirty years there have only been three that had that frightening reaction. One,thirty years ago and the other two in the past three years.
