As a follow up to the article about the Latin Mass at Holy Cross in Worcester, MA- this has been published:
At Vatican II, thousands of bishops agreed that the church needed a major overhaul.
Having read about it (“ ‘In nomine Patris, et Filii’: Latin Mass is today,” Telegram & Gazette, March 19), my wife and I attended a Latin Mass at the College of the Holy Cross. We thought it would bring back pleasant memories from our youth and make for a relaxing evening. Alas, having enjoyed the blessings of Vatican II, it was a major letdown for both of us.
The gist of it seems to be that we need the vernacular because no one understands Latin anyway and we need to develop an "authentic sense of self" which has always made me wonder what an inauthentic sense of self was- trying to be a better person maybe?
But my point in referencing this article is 1. This guy is from Thompson,CT. Do you mean to tell me he drove from CT (which has its own Latin Masses) to Worcester, MA to attend a Latin Mass and was then disappointed that the Mass was in .... Latin?
Which is basically saying we shouldn't listen to the Pope.
So, I can't help but be curious about a guy who lives in CT and writes editorials to MA newspapers. Curious n'est ce pas?
