If you respect tradition, you will follow the apostles practice of preaching and saying mass in the local language...Have fun in your revelry and whatever victory you think you have achieved by this pronouncement.

Take your attitude somewhere else, pal. I'm actually an Novus Ordo Catholic myself. But I can see the Traditionalists have been treated like dirt for the last 30 plus years and I can be happy for them.

You sure don't sound like someone who doesn't care one way or the other. Why not admit it? I freely admit I prefer the Mass said in English. Also, it's not so simple to define tradition as what we believe was originally done by the apostles. Particularly since the Council of Trent defined the Latin Mass as the Mass for all time.

Dear Pal,

You can't be a traditionalist and ignore the original practice. Call yourself what you want, but know the truth.

Thanx for the invitation to leave in your generous charitable christian spirit.
