In my parish, you'd be lucky to draw twenty peopleMaybe so, but in five years you'd have 200 people. When children are raised in that environment, they will be extraordinarily informed Catholics. They will keep the faith. They will pass it on; the Novus Ordo has been a catastrophe when it comes to keeping souls in a state of grace. Unfortunately, the informality of the Novus Ordo mass begat an informality in the upkeep of one's eternal soul, much to the eternal regret of many a lapsed Catholic.

Let me get this straight.

An English Mass fosters sins; the Latin Mass doesn't?

That's shoe-size IQ thinking.

"Informality" is a nonsenical notion, especially when one equates it with the Novus Ordo. Who are you to decide the reverence of Catholics?

Latin doesn't equal holy, pal.

I am impressed. Strong words of truth. It is what we believe - what you do, say, and how you act externally is a lead to your (internal) piety, as well as expressive of it.
