[OLD REGGIE]

The Latin Mass is the Mass of Saints. The Novus Ordo era has been four decades of retreat and scandal. With what Mass would you rather associate?

Am I to assume there were no saints for the first 600 or so years until Gregory I instituted the Tridentine Mass as the "standard"?

Prior to that time the Mass was in the vernacular.

Or, is it possible you are claiming the Tridentine Mass was the only valid "Novus Ordo" Mass?

Before then, Latin was the vernacular in the West. Popes Gregory and Pius V only codified existing practices. They did not create a "new order" as did Pope Paul VI.
