So do I, that is why I like the Tridentine mass. At St. Agnes in St. Paul, MN the priest still faces East during the Eucharistic Sacrifice, etc... you would think you are in a Tridentine Liturgy but it is the novus ordo because and they are doing it in Latin. Even in Latin the Novus Ordo doesn't seem to have the depth that the Tridentine Liturgy has. I especially like the Tridentine mass and prayers and think more people would like it if there was enough english to attract them. all of the orthodox rites use the language of the people, from egyptian and greek to ethiopian and russian. I say better a Tridentine mass in english and latin then the Novus Ordo in Latin?

"all of the orthodox rites use the language of the people, from egyptian and greek to ethiopian and russian. "

In our Greek Orthodox Parish here in America we use about 75% English and 25% Greek, though the choir actually uses a little more Greek. I was initially against the increasing use of English, but I have to say that the explosive growth of the parish, and indeed the diocese through the conversion of English speaking people to Orthodoxy has made me change my mind. We also have a large number of "cradle" Orthodox from countries which speak other than Greek, but they all speak English. By the way, try to use Church English, not sports page English. I was just looking through a 1956 St. Joseph Daily Missal we have in the house and the English translation is beautiful.
