Entry: Could the Latin Mass Save Western Civilization? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/could_the_latin_mass_save_western_civilization#10610 Post contents: The above articule in this viewers opinion is one of the best secular opines i have read on line since Pope Benedict the 16th issued the motu proprio Summorum Ponificum freeing the 1700 year old latin liturgy codified at the council of Trent in the 15th century from illigal suppression of it. Since this divine liturgy was NEVER abrogated after the council called vatican 2, it was and remains an abuse by Catholic clerics of a 60's cumbyya mentality to heap scorn on the millions that have been demanding it for years (literally millions of Catholics) in a faith of 1.7 billion people Not coming as a surprise the classic latin mass is filling churches worldwide with predominately youth between 15 & 50, so much for "nostalgia". It is a simple fact that there is no priestly vocation crisis in the orthodox (Latin) roman catholic communities of Traditional/Seminaries Abbeysmonasteries & convents ARE having a sort of crisis and that is they just don't have room for the influx of young Catholics requesting interest in the priesthood and Religious life. It is the novus ordo missae congregations (venacular mass parishes)that are experiencing "priestlyvocational problems". Even the generally ambivilent Patriarch of the 300 million strong Russian Orthodox church has expressed sincere joy at the Catholic church returning to the Catholic church in his reference to the Liberation of the Ancient Catholic Divine Litury, to quote the good Patriarch "now true ecumenicism can commence.----SHALOM Sent at: 2008 10 06
