In the pre-1962 liturgy there was a one-year cycle of readings. We read only an Epistle and a Gospel.

This is still true in the Maronite Catholic Church.

What concerns me is a younger generation that is not Latinized enough to make the Tridentine Mass truly reverent and meaningful. Most have not endured the rigors of learning Latin, speaking and studying in it. The language and culture of Cicero and the early church are foreign to them.

As Cardinal Egan has pointed out, Summorum Pontificum requires only that the priest be able to properly pronounce the words.

With practice and further study, priests new to Latin will gain a better understanding of the language, but this will take time. Saying the Mass in the extraordinary form will help in this regard.

We’ll come.

Communion rail; Eucharist on the tongue; paten under the chin. The priest facing up to the Lord with the congregation.

Yeah. We’ll come.

For all you Catholics that haven’t attended the Latin Mass, you don’t know what you’re missing. I live in Kansas City and attend every Sunday.

Rich Leonadi has an update on what Fr. Daly said about a neighboring indult Mass from a reader.

“I just spoke to the Pastor at St. Francis deSales regarding Father Daly’s Tridentine Mass column, and he is very upset. He says the article is full of lies, and he has spoken to the Auxiliary Bishop about it. First of all, as he told the Bishop, he is NOT exasperated and that this Mass is NOT a burden; he told the Bishop that if it were a burden, he would have let him know. He does not prepare two different homilies, and yes they no longer move the altar, but only because the microphone wires kept getting damaged during the process. He said that attendance is on the increase, and that it is not all elderly people and they do not attend because they want a short liturgy, because his Tridentine Mass is at least an hour long, longer than his other Masses. This priest is truly upset, and I hope Fr. Daly is called to task on this.”

Wow. They are both right. Anyway...

The Church has given us the solution regarding attendance to the “two forms” of the Latin Rite. This is what I plan to do: “ordinarily” I will attend the “ordinary form” of the Latin right but, “extraordinarily,” I will attend the “extraordinary form.” Bingo. That will do it for me. I will have no ritual schizophrenia over this.

My letter to Mike Nelson editor of The Tidings is posted on www.SplendorofTruth.com/curtjester/ as to Fr. Daly a few quickies:

1. It is less than prudent that Fr. Daly presented himself as speaking for others in a public forum.

2. The Tridentine mass Fr. Daly critizices is held in Benedict, MD, population 197.

3. I can’t speak for the duration of low mass, but sung mass, held ONCE A MONTH ON THE FIRST SUNDAY AT 11:00 A.M., ST. FRANCIS DE SALES, HINT HINT, is never under an hour and ten minutes. I would know, I’m the music director.

4. Attendance has varied from 17 to 85 people; here I have to make the point though that Mass is about worship, not numbers.

5. The really sad thing though is that most of us LIKED Father Daly before this happened; he has supported or started many works of charity in the southern Maryland area, many in our small and faithful congregation have always spoken well of him.
