I never heard that the Latin Mass was a form of entertainment!
WOW, how poor of any priest to state the Holy sacrafice of the Mass that way.
Great it is being said, guess the real reson is not known to them ? Entertainment! all I can say is ,Where is the FAITH?

?? I don't see that in the article. Maybe I read it too quickly. What part of the article do you refer to?

I did see this, referring to the TLM:

Tradition takes precedence over entertainment

and "A lot have come from forms of Christianity where there is a strong emphasis on entertaining the congregation and they have fled that kind of worship," quoting Fr Jordan.

Please re-read this.....people are fleeing entertainment by going to the Tridentine Mass.

These reporters are getting a bit tedious...they are fixated on the language...when the big issue is the fundamental nature of the Mass...the rubrics..the music...the prayers....the tradition...the homilies.

Lurkers need to note that the First Reading, the Gospel and Homily are all in English.....A mildly intelligent person could learn the Latin in about 4 months...75% of the Latin words are close to the English....and 99% are close to Spanish/Italian.
