Gloria tibi, Domine! This is certainly good news. I went to a Latin Novus Ordo mass in Baltimore this morning. For the life of me, I can't understand why they didn't just change to the Latin Novus Ordo after Vatican II instead of alienating so many people with novelties in the 1970s and beyond.

The reason that the AmChurch and other Church liberals did not simply adopt the Latin Novus Ordo is that to be liberal is to have an infinite number of itches that allow you no peace and which make one want to share the constant state of irritation with everyone else. If you find peace and repose, they are outraged because you will pay their inflated petty egos no attention. Why the Novus Ordo in the first place, regardless of language?

Liberals want us to think that this is a matter of language. Actually it is a matter of the historic formulas of the Mass itself. For those not old enough to remember the Tridentine Mass culture that was the norm of your ancestors, let me assure you that no one other than itchy liberals was interested in the culture wreckage that is now the norm. It is a quite valid Mass but a cultural abomination, lacking much of a sense of the sacred unless being offered by the most orthodox and competent of priests. The Roman Catholic Church is a profoundly conservative institution and therefore despised by all creatures liberal. The liberals will leave nothing whatever in peace. They crave constant attention to their imbecilic enthusiasms such as We are Church or the libellously named Catholics for a Free Choice or Call to Action or varous idiot "renewal" schemes.
