The Roman Missal developed over the course of nearly two millennia.

The newer version of the Missale Romanum is still perfectly valid, but lacks a certain organicity in its development, while the traditional version was organically developed over all those many years.

The universal language of the Church is Latin, and has been since fairly early on. The continued use of Latin, in any of the versions of the Roman Missal, in addition to being normative, is indicative of the universality of the Church.

One of the great things going on in this Diocese is that Bishop Olmstead is supporting the establishment of a new foundation of Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration. That is always a wonderful sign.
