Not just the geographical/linguistic differences loosening the bonds, but also a temporal shift. Post Vatican II i have seen about 2-3 changes, albeit minor, in the Liturgy, and a LOT of changes in the music. It went from the reverent Mass In Honor of Pope Paul VI to the Guitarzan mass (barf alert on the latter). The Tridentine mass was intended to be the same not only no matter where you go, but no matter WHEN you are. It was offically promulgated in the 1500s, but had been in practice since the early Church. In almost 1700 years there were NO siginificant changes where one would see a substantial difference in the Mass. Come along 1962 and John XXIII et voila, lots of liturgical experimentation, etc etc etc.
But having talked to a conservative papabile just a few weeks ago (I won't say who), I don't think that's in the cards.
Hi BBM!! Long time, no see!
I agree completely. I was born post Vatican II but I love the Latin Mass. Unfortunately, it's so far away and said at 6:00 am I can't attend regularly.
