What About the Latin Mass?, the Latin Mass that traditionalists long for is nothing like 2000 years old--the early Mass was often in Greek, and Gibson probably remembers only the Latin Mass that wasnt finalized until 1962. So if he was born in 1956, Johnson says, his Latin Mass is really younger than he is himself. The intellectual disingenuousness here is staggering.

The Latin Mass wasn't finalized until 1962???? What about Pope St.Pius V issuing "Quo Primum" in 1570 that codified the Mass. If the Mass wasn't finalized then it wasn't finalized at all.
