The London-based Baronius Press is reprinting an edition of the missal, which includes the full text of the papal letter "Summorum Pontificum."

John Newton, editor of Baronius Press, commented, "It would seem that 'Summorum Pontificum,' has generated a considerable amount of interest and excitement in the traditional Latin liturgy among the Catholic laity."

What strikes me about this development is that those who are buying a Latin Mass Missal are making a significant commitment to tradition and attending the Traditional Mass. Missals are expensive and may be difficult to find. For years people bought them on Ebay where you could find Missals that had been previously owned. And the market for used Missals has always been very good. It seems that only recently have more publishers found it worth their while to print new Latin Mass Missals.

Something tells me that for those seeking a return to the Traditional, once they hold their Latin Mass Missal in their hands it will be the beginning of a wonderful journey- a journey that is historical, spiritual, cultural and not to be missed.
