To: little jeremiah; aMorePerfectUnion
Little jeremiah, Thank you for this insightful post.

Hi, aMPU my friend.

My parish has Latin Mass just two Sundays a month. Singing with the choir, I find it moves me on so many levels, because of its reverence, majesty and tranquility.

Note to both Catholics and non-Catholics who may not know this: the text of the Tridentine Mass (one that was so many centuries-in-the-making, and finally adopted as the norm for the West at 16th century Trent) is a daisy-chain of Scripture all through: there's scarcely a word in it that's not Scripture.

That's why there's no dichotomy between being "bound together by Christ" (which is what I wish for ALL of us without exception) --- and the Latin Mass. It's not as if it were an either-or proposition.

Some Protestants may understand if I compare it to a preference for the KJV. It embodies a kingly dignity; so it appeals to a certain inner yearning to give God His own, in the most fitting form we can.

Blessings to all who read these words.

“Tridentine Mass (one that was so many centuries-in-the-making, and finally adopted as the norm for the West at 16th century Trent) is a daisy-chain of Scripture all through: there’s scarcely a word in it that’s not Scripture.”

It is what is left out through selective choices that distorts the Gospel.

Best
