For those that may not be informed on the matter. The Pope has decided to let people use the Latin Mass much more than now. What do you guys think abou that?

This is such an exciting time to be Catholic. I don't think Pope Benedict is not loosening the restrictions so much as he is trying to give Catholics back an identity. You could always find a Latin Mass. It meant going a little out of the way, but it could be done. But now the laity have a voice in how they would like to worship. This also means that Catholics are now forced to having to explain their faith and their reasons for wanting to have a Latin Mass.

Yes, the Latin Mass in the vernacular is key!

Good. I know even though I was born well, WELL after Vatican II, I always prefered the Latin Rite.
It would be nice, however, if the vatican would strike the ultimate balance -- do the Latin Rite, but in the vernacular.

It's ok. Latin helps unite people. It is a good move. It unifies people the way there was unity in the Church before Martin Luther.

Yes, and I wish he had gone further! There are still too many ways a bishop can make it very difficult for the laity to have access to this Mass.

I'm young, so the Latin mass never occurred in my lifetime.
Yeah i support it. But will it be in Latin and trinidine, where the priest has his back toward the group?
I guess I better start learning Latin.
pater noster, qui est in caelis....

I believe that they proposal was to allow the tridentine mass format to be allowed. Not that more people would be required to attend one.

yes, because he is not saying that you must have it only that you may if you have a stable group in your Parish that wants it.
