"Most people attend the Latin Mass mainly because they are sick of hetrodoxy from the pulpit, they are sick of no reverence what so over during the mass, they are sick of altar girls, they are sick of Lay Eucharistic Ministers, they are sick of the banal music, they are sick that they looked down upon for recieveing opur lord on their knees and so on. This is the reason why people go to the Latin Mass."

And how, exactly, is allowing the Latin mass to be widely said again going to fix any of those supposed problems??

Are you even a practicing Catholic?

What is with your hatred of Catholic tradition?

Happy indeed is the news you are a convert, brother.

As to being "fixiated" on a particular Liturgy, I think that the most natural thing in the world. I too was raised when the Latin Mass (low) was normative in America and all throughout the West. So, "fixated" might be a bit perjorative. Try "in love with."

The brothers and sisters I know and respect exhibit longanimity in their desires to assist at the Liturgy of their youth. Deprived of their love, they yet maintained the Bonds of Untiy in Worship, Doctrine, and Authority and so news they, finally, have access to their love is news of great joy

As they grew into maturity, they expected, with great reason, it would be the sole Liurgy/Mass/Eucharist they would assist at for their entire lives. Many are the reasons that was not the case but try to understand your brothers and sisters who fell in love with the Latin normative Mass long before your conversion. The old Mass/Liturgy/Eucharist is their home in a world gone mad.

And I say this as one who still loves the old Mass but, for many reasons, assists at the Pauline Rite
