Gee 64%. That can not be, I read it here on FR that very few people want the old Mass back. I am sure I read that no one will attend the old Mass. I must be misreading something ping.

Don't know if you noticed it or not, but this article dates back to '78.

You might also believe that if you attended the average NO church. You cant talk to the parish DRE....the lectors, greeters (ushers), EEMs, CCD ladies, and the others who might as well be wearing "I Love LIturgy" t-shirts.

You have to talk to the ones who are not making a spectacle of themselves. From the old lady telling her beads, to the quiet young couple. ASk them - they will let you know - if even subtly, that the TLM would be welcome.

Also, ask the folks who have voted with their feet and stay home. They are not all lazy - or devoid of faith. Many are just tired of waging a losing battle with no ammunition.

They will also tell you that they would welcome a return to the TLM.

Don't ask the people who are re-arranging deck chairs on the sinking Titanic if they like the iceberg - or are aware of its existance........much less its impact.
