God bless the traditional latin mass and all she stands for. Rome obviously has something to fear from it, making it outlawed for over 20 years, then JPII in some sort of a cruel joke leaving it up to the liberal , mostly homosexual bishops to allow this "Indult" (or should I say Insult Mass?) which out of some 400 bishops I think less than 20% allow it, and in one church out of many. The church concelebrates with Jews, Orthodox, Protestant, has Eucharistic Hospitality sessions with Protestants where the body of Christ is given to those in Mortal sin and not even Catholic, but if you are Traditional or go to the TLM-you are banned, pushed off, the Novus Ordo priest looks at you like you have 3 heads. There is something spooky going on in the church after Vatican II, and I dont want to subscribe to conspiracy, but to replace a mass such as the TLM, at least replace it with something that makes some sense. The Novus Ordo is a watered down Episcopal Mass, even the Protestants I work with say their masses are more reverent and the sermons are much much better.

As you said "The church concelebrates with Jews, Orthodox, Protestant, has Eucharistic Hospitality sessions with Protestants where the body of Christ is given to those in Mortal sin and not even Catholic, but if you are Traditional or go to the TLM-you are banned, pushed off, the Novus Ordo priest looks at you like you have 3 heads".
And as I hope everyone here understands fully, all of that - most especially the come one come all "Eucharistic Hospitality sessions" - is strictly forbidden by the Apostolic Canons, some of which were composed by no less than St. Peter the Holy Apostle himself.
The canons of the Church are not mere laws. They are statements of basic Christian principle. How anyone can read them, and also read what you just said Bulldog, without concluding that the NO establishment is an entirely new religion is quite beyond my pitiful ability to comprehend. Nanette Claret(an Anglican who is apparently on her way into the NO establishment), has tried her best to explain this to me, but I'm afraid I still just don't get it.
