Question for catholics: If Pope Benedict gives the green light for celebrating Tridentine Mass?

Question

will the NO churches that want to celebrate the Tridentine Mass need to get new altars and stuff? How will it all workout?

Answer 1

they need a high altar, but they don't need the altar rails, as long as the people know to kneel around the altar. i like the rails, though. it closes off the altar, makes it more sacred, people can't just walk up there.
i pray that the pope will give us that indult. one church by us has an indult from the bishop, but that's only for sundays. our parochial viccar will do it every day once we get the indult.

pray for it!

Answer 2

Firstly Josie there is nothing at present to prevent celebrating a Tridentine Mass,all you need is the say-so of the local Bishop, secondly I have been to a Tridentine Mass which was conducted on the normal altar, so really nothing special is needed.

Answer 3

There has been a sharp renewal of interest in the traditional Roman rite, both here and abroad, following his Holiness Pope John Paul II's 1984 and 1988 indults granting permission for it to be celebrated again. Over a hundred and twenty thousand Catholics in America attend a weekly Mass celebrated according to the 1962 missal, and several religious orders, predominantly composed of young seminarians and priests, have sprung up dedicated exclusively to its continued observance.

Answer: This has already been done.

Answer 4

Some may choose to. Others may only move the altar back. We already say much of our Mass in Latin, and we kneel for communion.

Answer 5

I think that it will mean that the Churches will be allowed to celebrate it - if they wish. Not that they will be forced to.
