The motu says a “stable group of the faithful” must request it: does that mean that latinistas have to circulate a petition in the parish parking lot? Or do we ask the pastor to make an announcement that anybody who wants a Latin mass should notify him?
And what would be considered a large enough or “stable” enough group?
I don&rsquot think our present pastor would even know how to say the Latin, and his soon-to-arrive assistant is newly-ordained and probably wouldn't know, either.
Would we have to ask the Bishop to make some Latin training available? Or would Latin-advocate groups -— the Adoremus people, maybe-— make a training video? (Don’t wait for the USCCB to do anything, that’s for sure: don’t want to wait another 40 years.)
Thoughts?
yesterday at mass the FSSP priest said that they (FSSP) were going to have workshops for priests that were interested.
**How would one go about getting a Latin Mass at one’s parish? **
I believe 30 people must request it in writing to the priest and then it goes forward from there. Makes sense to me.
