"There are defense mechanisms involved here and I'm not sure which ones (displacement & rationalization?)."

I am sure you are correct about this but it is more than defense mechanisms on the spiritual level and we have to start focusing on that level as it has been the focus on psychological stuff that has allowed the dissent to flourish.

I suspect (and this is a gut reaction) that there are graces in the universal saying of the latin Mass that we have been shorted. There might be special graces we gain from the saying of the new Mass in vernacular too but Latin is the official language of the Church ...I don't understand why both aren't encouraged as it will only bring us more Grace and we need all we can get at this point.

Interesting idea, I never thought of it that way. One used to be able to go to a Roman Catholic Church anywhere in the world and experience the same (universal) Mass. IMHO, that has been a great loss.
