My first Latin Mass was the Sunday after the Motu Proprio. I used an old Missal from the 50s that someone gave me after finding it in his grandfather's belongings after his death. I was lost but loved it. I have gone almost every Sunday since.

Bring back our traditional Latin mass

Also, since I am newer to TLM, I can't stop talking about it and have invited several friends. I feel like the woman who lost her coin and when she found it again she invited her neighbors to celebrate!

I stopped attending Mass on a regular basis for decades. However, it was on a feast day, dedicated to Our Lady, that I happened to stumble upon a beautiful, stirring and luminous, Latin Mass. The rite was so encompassing and deeply impressionable to all my senses, that it ushered me back into the Church. I site my personal redemptive return to the traditional Catholic Church, via the TLM. And that my friends, proved a mysterious, mystical, miracle in itself. God is good and great!

What an inspiring talk; I grew up in the Latin Mass, and have long missed it. This talk took me back. Thank you for this talk.

LORD JESUS CHRIST PROTECT THIS MAN

I grew up Lutheran. Started going to novos ordo for two years, saw Dr. Taylor Marshall on KZfaq and he recommended going to a Latin mass. Since then my fiancé and I have been going ever since and I can’t get enough of it. Thank you for your video, I have subscribed 👍

I live in Staten Island, NY and there is not a TLM in this borough although the priest here celebrates the NO reverently. I try to get into the Manhattan for a TLM once a month. The difference between the two masses is worlds apart, the liturgy, dress code, music, reverence, the smell of incense, real wax candles, confessions before mass. LOVE IT!

Brilliant mind, soul, heart ...etc. Latin Mass is holy!

Brilliant as usual. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Kwasniewski at the Catholic Identity Conference last October in Pittsburg after hearing him speak there too. He’s definitely a blessing for Holy Mother Church.

A fantastic talk I will share widely. Thank you so much, Dr. K., for helping me remember and intellectualize what i grew up experiencing

I Must Tell You; I am 7th born of 10 children. And my Parents had a Second Conversion after my Father's Cousin had brought to them So Much Information About OUR LADY Of FATIMA! It Literally Changed Their Lives! They went from only having Two Children; to living totally for God and Having 10 Children! Not moving to Florida as My Dad Could Move With his job; as a City Fireman! They had Our House Enthroned and We Prayed The Family Rosary! I will Always Cherish The Memories of standing next to my Dad; who was 6'4"; at MASS; when I was very very young! My Father Never Accepted Vatican Two and ALL of The Changes in The Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass! I also quite fondly remember The May Procession and the Crowning of OUR LADY Celebration at Mass! I became My Father's Living Witness to All He Did So Fervently Believe was Taken Away and So Radically CHANGED IN THE MASS; by THE MODERNIST!!! As I would So Often Hear; GOD DOES NOT CHANGE; HE REMAINS THE SAME; YESTERDAY TODAY and TOMORROW!!! As I Entered Saint Anthony's High School. I was being taught; that The BIBLE Was Just a bunch of nice stories. They were not Really True; but we're told to kinda help explain our faith in story form!!!! I was getting headaches and would lay down after walking home from school! I really never fared well at school anyway! But This Was Causing me to have trouble with my nerves! EVERYTHING MY Dad Would Teach us after every Mass; we had the Traditional Sunday Bakery goods and Always Gather together. Our table was akin to The Last Supper painting my Mom did! And it hung on our dinning room wall. All 12 of us would gather round and listen to my Father's Talk on The Sunday Mass! NOW; Everything He Had taught me; was Now Suddenly being explained away as JUST NICE STORIES! It was originally very hard for my Parents to Believe that I was being so brutally beaten by my first grade nun. Whipped actually, until I had come home with very red welts on the backs of my legs. And wet socks from the Shock of The Yard stick whipping my bare little legs! I was the shyest child in my class; for year's! And just couldn't figure out why she insisted on beating me for one reason or another! Well; I eventually figured it out! But as is with life; Ever figuring things out! But Yes! I was born in February 1958! And I Would Also Just like to ADD; Now We Can Clearly See What The Real 3rd SECRET of FATIMA WAS! Pertaining to The SMOKE OF SATAN; ENTERING THE CHURCH BACK THEN! I at only 5 year's old, had a dream vision; I was taken at midnight; across from my Church; I so dearly Loved very young! And was watching rows of dark hooded men; all coming in double rows; down the side street and around the corner and right up into the Church! I was made to understand these particular men; were INFILTRATORS! Entering the Catholic TRUE CHURCH; SOLELY TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE Been Trying to do now FOR A LIFETIME of My finding out! As much later in my life; I was given a book; written by a Priest; who was just one of these many men the Lord had shown me that night. It was quite riveting to say the least! I had 4 Children by then; they are my life under My God! But This reading of this particular book; so angered the devil!!! That He has hated what I had found out so much. He had chased me; my entire life it seems! Even before I read it! But much more intently after, he hates THE TRUTH Being FOUND OUT! BUT OUR PROTECTIVE FATHER IS SO GOOD TO US! TRUST HIM and BELIEVE! BELIEVE IN THE MIGHTY POWER IN JUST THE BLESSING IN LATIN; when he tries to inflict anything on You! Amen! Extremely WONDERFUL TEACHING ABOUT THE TRUE SACRIFICE OF THE HOLY MASS! GOD IS A GOD OF RULES IN THIS LIFE! HE IS A GOD OF OBEDIENCE and ORDER! HE DOESN'T CHANGE! HE REMAINS THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY and TOMORROW! AMEN!

I thank God for your detailed, filled of fervor explanation of The Sacred Mystery of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!

The TLM takes me back to the Lutheran Liturgy which nourished me and my pastorate until they went crazy, trashed it, and I escaped to Rome.

Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated in Philippines during the 50's snd 60's till l migrated here in America that change the mass in english, thank God that Latin Mass is back at our church during Sundays at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, El Segundo CA. Feel the solemnity and so peaceful with the presence of God. Praise the Lord🙏🙏🙏

I have only been going for a year since discovering that while all the other churches are closed because of the plandemic, the Latin Rite gives communion on the tongue. It has always been a spine tingling experience and get goose bumps especially when I kneel to receive our Lord. I’m still learning but I definitely found my home😇🙏😊

The Lord was calling me to the Latin Mass for so long and I was reticent to go with regularity. Thanks be to God we had a pandemic and I, as a daily communicant, became frantic when all the sacraments came to an end at my novus ordo parish. Thankfully my Latin Mass friends said, "If you want to receive Our Lord, go here..." and there I did go. I will never leave the Latin Mass, never, ever. Thank you Peter for all that you are doing to make this beautiful gift known and loved, may God bless you richly for your efforts, thank you, thank you.

This lecture is poetry! Thank you!

Thank you Professor Kwasniewski for your work! Excellent discussion!

Great lecture. I've been attending Sunday TLM high mass for the last few months. Had to attend NO today at same church and same priest. I hate to say that mass was boring, but it was boring and it just felt weird. I can't believe I endured the NO for all my 49 years. The sung Our Father is about the most beautiful and there was no beautiful music. Most people stood before the kneelers for communion in the hand and there were a few of us women with veils who knelt and received on the tongue. It almost didn't seem like the same church, but it was a different crowd with a different feeling. I will keep going to TLM. I feel I've learned so much in these few short months. I was first confirmed in 2019 and my intention was not to remain stagnant. I'm so grateful the Holy Spirit has lead me to TLM. I probably wouldn't have even known about TLM if it weren't for the lockouts. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

"Given the choice..." Well, actually, there is no choice. The Modernist Anibale Bugnini, the primary author of the Novus Ordo, kept in his new creation the very minimum so that it could be defended as being valid, but even though the NO Mass might, perhaps, be valid, I must, Must, MUST not endanger my soul by attending at it.

TLM brought me back to the Legion of Mary 🌹 and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ ❤️❤️💖

Praise God forever in Latin Mass. We should be given a choice! Stay strong laity for Latin Mass is spiritually enriching across the world! Please, keep on the program alive for it draws people to faith in JESUS CHRIST- TRUTH.

Thank you, thank you! A beautiful summary of the Mass of the Ages. Just hearing this brings a spirit of worship up front and center. So many have been robbed of the sacred and the complete sense of worship. Never give it up...never! 🙏✝️🙏

THIS is a masterpiece ! I'd LOVE to have this in writing. Actually , I might have to transcribe it , norther how long it takes , to read and reread . Such eloquently stated TRUTH !!!

As a homeschooler, I have been really underwhelmed by the Latin programs available. This would be a wonderful ministry for someone! Wonderful talk. Thank you. TLM speaks to my soul in ways NOM seldom could.

PK you are a treasure for traditional Catholics. I grew up with the Latin Mass as a young schoolgirl and after the changes many of us did not see the serious changes except that one of my sons called the new mass a microwave mass. I still preferred to go to TLM wherever it was. I had no strong opinions until this pope put a wrench on it and I had a chance to learn more. Thank you for your efforts to explain this to the rest of us!

So magnificent that I'm listening again in case I missed a word. I am so grateful to God that I found a SSPX chapel close to home.

Thank you, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski. The very relevant insistence on stability, constancy, permanence, in a specifically (traditional) liturgical-ritual setting, is far more decisive than many are led to believe. Hence the nefarious effects of the liturgical “reform” were multiplied by the liturgical revolutionaries imposing change after change, in a constant instability during the “Missa Normativa” (!) experimentations from 1963-1969. By the promulgation of the Novus Ordo in 1969, Catholics were already dizzied with unstable liturgy, which is why so many find “the Eucharist” boring unless all sorts of anthropocentric entertainments take place.

Thank You, we started two years to go home to the Latin Mass🙏❤️

My Latin missals (either the Baronius Press or Fr. Lessance) go with me when I attend a NO mass. I read the prayers before Mass and the ones specifically before receiving Communion. I will of course pay attention to the readings and homily and most definitely during the Consecration. Prior to lining up for Communion (in a state of grace of course, after going to confession) I’ll recite the confetior silently. After receiving and using my own words to pray, I’ll read prayers after Communion. Usually the music during these masses range from boring to cringe, but reading those short prayers helps me focus on conversing with the Lord instead of the fluff going on around me.

Thank you Dr. K. This information is desperately needed by all N-O adherents. In Hoc Signo Vinces.

Thank you Latin Mass is spiritually profound in Jesus Christ. I love your integrated wisdom of our Latin Mass. . Keep telling the Vatican about this is significant.

Well said! So many who have rediscovered tradition agree.Sacred spaces, WORSHIP, reverence shared with other people who want to this encounter with our Lord, each in our own space but as one. Every catholic needs to experience this not to prove a point but for their own spiritual welfare.

"Silence is a sort of spiritual prostration of the senses and human faculties." nice.

God bless you Dr. K

The Latin Mass is a sacred work of art. When I first came back to Catholicism after many years away, I went to both NO and TLM. After awhile I realized that the TLM shared my values so I only went to the LM thereafter. These are good talks to introduce people. It is not HARD! to understand TLM. The missals make it easy. One thing I read recently is that those trying to deny the TLM are going up against God. Pope Gregory V set it in stone years ago and warned that anyone who changed it risked the rath of Peter and Paul, not to mention God.

I just came back to the Catholic Church in April after having been away for twenty years started going to the tlm in June. All I can say is logos is rising

Praise God forever. Thank you for sharing ❤

Great work! For people need information to support their faith and fix ourselves in TRUTH JESUS CHRIST.

Thanks, Dr K.

Tibi gratias ago pro explicatione tua mysterii inefabilis quod ego amo.

This is the finest exposition and defense of the Traditional mass Ive ever heard.

Thank you for for posting this it gives me so much hope !! 💗 everyone who loves to here what saintly Bishop sounds like should listen to Bishop Donald Sanborn!! You will not be disappointed!!

Beautiful, I am thankful for this lecture

How inspiring! Thanks for the excellent talk ❤️

Magnifique!!!!

You took all of the words out of my mouth and reworded them much more eloquently, and added things that had only registered in my subconscious mind. 👏🏻✝️ I got to experience the TLM for the first time three years ago, and I was reduced to uncontrolled sobbing by its solemnity and beauty. 😭❤️ “… a certain man dressed in white…” 🤣 At my parish: • my current pastor is a Benedictine who says the TLM and a very reverent ad Deum Novus Ordo Mass • communicants receive Communion while kneeling, mostly on the tongue • there is more lay participation in the TLM than in the Novus Ordo Mass • the Novus Ordo Mass has more lay participation than I’ve ever seen at any non-TLM parish (and I’ve attended Mass at several)

The closest is an hour drive away. So 2.5 hours driving to go to Mass. I don't think we could manage that every Sunday. But since going for the second time in my life about 6 weeks ago I can't stop wanting it over the NO we attend every week. It was an hour and a half of pure joy.

In the questions and answers section towards the end of this post the question about chanting came up. Let me assure you the Orthodox till this day chant the readings as it always was from the beginning of the church and before the Schism took place.

Novis Ordo Mass is Lutheran Mass

Thanks lovely talk and so true

Beautiful! Thank you.

Excellently said. Yes. This.

Beautiful discourse!

Go get em Dr K !!! *INSTAVRARE OMNIA IN CHRISTO*

wonderful

Thank you so beautiful

Truly a hero of mine

He is so right about these things. Michael Davies said they tried to cut out everything that smacks of sacrifice, including the sacrificing priest. Just compare the Novus Ordo Confiteor with the traditional. Where is the sacrificing priest? He's not there. Watered down, just as he said, and much of it eliminated entirely.

So Wonderful To Listen to YOUR TEACHING! I PRAY THESE TRUE WORD'S; ENLIGHTEN ALL WHO LISTEN TO THEM! FOR SAD IS MY HEART; FROM HOW MY BEAUTIFUL TRINITY and MOTHER HAVE BEEN SO ABUSED FOR SUCH A LONG TIME NOW! BUT; As I Had Said back in 2011; on my Facebook page! " This Is The Crusifixion of The Churches!" Now I Say; They May Take Our Lord Out of The Building's; But NEVER OUT OF OUR TEMPLES! (OUR HEARTS and SOUL'S) The Lord Shall Keep His Remnant ALIVE; Till He Returns!

JMJ+ Your talks are always enjoyable and educational, but it would be very nice to be able to hear the audience participation and questions. The TLM is beautiful and the prayers of the ancients are so needed today. The Mass is for and about GOD, not man, but the Novis Ordo just doesn't seem to get that point.... Even a Latin N. O. just doesn't work..... GOD help YOUR Church to heal and become unified in the Liturgy and Eucharist...................

What a gift it is to find myself at mass without my missal. Rather than struggle with an unfamiliar missal, I assist at mass with my eyes. The whole drama of salvation is renewed on the altar in movement and gesture! Can the NO do that?

Please send a copy of your speech to the POPE AND ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS ! If they are truly holy men they will heed.... you have beautifully illuminated the worthiness of the old mass and the need for a deeper Union with GOD thru the holiness of such a mass... the “REVERENCE “ is unmistakable in the Latin mass... the Catholic Church is losing its children because it’s been so watered down ... because of its deviations the faithful are losing their faith and in the end there will be a reckoning with GOD ⚜️

the Mass liturgy should have never been changed in 1970

Funny I was just thinking Latin prays and the mass should be taught, should at least be taught in catechism classes along with the Baltimore catechism.

According to Vatican II's Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Novus Ordo is still normative in Latin. The vernacular is the option. It is up to priests and laity to work for a return to Latin in the reformed liturgy.

Wow that was amazing. What an excellent explanation. I experienced everything you said walking into work for the first time since I was a child they stop doing it. Once you go back to that Latin mass there’s no turning back. Notice the auto just doesn’t do it for me.

It’s important to contemplate…How does God want to be worshipped? Does God want to be worshipped like the early Church Fathers who were in direct contact with the Apostles? Or…a “new” way of worshipping God? All I know is that since the 1960’s when the “new” Mass was introduced that the belief in the Eucharist has dropped significantly and the abandonment of the Catholic Faith is the fastest growing denomination…those are factual Truths!

God Bless! Pray I can go to Latin mass everyday and my mon convert and take me and take herself please. And to make good new practicing Catholic friends I can go to mass, adoration, serve and prayer with. Spread and preservation of Latin mass throughout the world. To make a good holy confession and for my priest. To be absolved for every sin. For my Goddaughter Autumn Diaz and her family to convert to Catholicism and tlm mass especially them my family, friends and future husband. Amen 🙏❤

Read of the miraculous events at Garabandal, Spain. There is a clear prophesy that the proclaiming of the Novo Ordo of Mass by Paul VI is a great miracle which will bring the Church safely through the '..Valley of Death..' which is foretold in the Psalms.

Viva Cristo Rey ♥️🙏✝️

43:58 Pentecost is the 2nd Most Solemn feast in Holy Mother Church. Epiphany is 3rd. Corpus Christi is 4th. Ascension Thursday is 5th. Then comes Christmas at 6th. The Nativity of St John the Baptist is 7th, and Sts Peter and Paul is 8th. All Saints is 9th. The Immaculate Conception 10th, the Assumption 11th, and Michaelmass 12th.

What do you mean “ if our lives allow it…“???! Our family moved across the country, and where we landed was decided on where there was a strong traditional Catholic community. We are not wealthy. But we know what matters to the faith life of our souls and especially those of our children. There is no “if“ about it. Either we are Christians or we are not. The Novus ordo is not.

Dominus vobiscum

47:26 The Traditional Mass is the Rite of St Peter. It has not changed from Apostolic times but only suffered additions and accretions that were legislated into the rubrics. Some optional, nonessential parts withered away, and at any event were never the universal custom of Holy Mother Church. But in any event never did any legislation demand abbreviation of prayers or ceremonies.

A friend recently described the difference between the TLM and the NO as the difference between the Big Leagues and Triple A. I protested, saying that would be the difference if you compared the TLM to the Mass of Vatican II as prescribed. Priest facing East, Latin, etc... What we commonly have in the NO is not that, as our general experiences, and further, any waltz down the abuses chronicled on the internet will attest. With these in mind, I told him I thought the comparison would be more apt to compare the 1927 Yankees to The Bad News Bears.

If it comes to a choice between the "Traditional Latin Mass" (The Mass) and the so-called new mass, there can only be one choice: The Mass. The other is not a Mass and is invalid.

46:17 If you think rocks are ancient you should be on my hill during a gully washer! It makes me appreciate the power of Noah's Flood.

It's about time that the traditional Latin Mass is properly explained for those who might like to join the Catholic church. In my mind the Novus Ordo Mass is a complete waste of time. it is entirely void of Christian Spirituality. There is no respect shown at communion for the body and blood of Christ.

WOW!!🙏🙏💗🙏

Make The Mass Latin Again!

Dr. Kwasniewski, since, as you so aptly point out, the differences between the NO and the Traditional Mass go to the root, and since the NO is "inspired by a false theology", how can it be said that the NO and the Traditional Mass are two forms of the same thing? And can the NO even be properly called a Mass?

What do you think of a new Parish Priest deciding for his self to eliminate Christmas Midnight Mass with no reason given. I have been a parishioner for 46 yrs and we have had bad priests but this priest is very arrogant when he is questioned. I am heartbroken and will go to Midnight Mass at another Parish 15 mins. away, even though I live 2 houses from my own Parish Church.

The churches in our area recently stopped celebrating the Latin Mass, after additional restrictions were placed on the Tridentine Mass. The NO mass in this area is irreverent to the point where it feels like it borders on blasphemy. I increasingly feel like the Roman Catholic church the way it exists presently, in 2022, is not my home.

46:00 The liturgical calendar is a foundation for the ordering of life. Its cycle of fasts and feasts is continuous and overlapping. But Pius X somehow felt it overburdened modern man. He removed a dozen feasts and fasts claiming that men needed more time for labor and to plant. Obviously, his legislation was tragic for Holy Mother Church. Good Grief, London has more bank holidays than Holy Mother Church ever had feastdays. So much for laboring and agriculture.

I’m 60 Been Catholic all my life If there was a Latin mass near me I would go every Sunday

Nice comments but isn't it the Jewish Passover Prayers said in the Temple in Jerusalem that Jesus attended with His Apostles on the night He was betrayed that are Perpetual and cant be changed. The Temple came down because it was the end of the Symbolic Lamb sacrifice.

I don’t want to judge which mass is more holier, I wish I could go to mass everyday, just so I can receive Holy Communion (body of Christ) always and just be connected and worship our Lord Savior, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit always. I usually go to mass then go straight to the Eucharist Adoration

exceptionally poor audio quality on KZfaq. Cannot hear the audience questions at all.

Which Missal do you use?

Could anybody kindly tell me if the Traditional Latin Mass attended by Church Militant is celebrated "Una Cum" or "Non Cum"? Thanks in advance for Your kind attention.

I would love to have Pope Francis sit and listen to this entire presentation, then rebut with why the Novus Ordo is now the only valid mass. His predictably vapid reply would be quite entertaining in its stupidity, then infuriating.

26:55 Before waxing too poetic about the advantages of the Faithful reading the Canon be it known that prior to the revolutionary pontificate of Pius X Canon Law expressly forbade the publication of the Sacred Canon in any vernacular language but insisted it always be inscribed in the venerable ancient Latin- a language which the Holy Ghost "killed" just for this purpose.

45:31

This guy is smart, but if he is so SO smart why ain't he pope, eh??? But really, yeah, Viva Christo Rey! As a child, I recall the altar rail, or at least the vestiges of its existence. Then it vanished. Then the mosaics were covered up. Then a band started performing in the Sanctuary. Then they installed big speakers. Then they got rid of the classical features like the hanging lights and replaced them with bright LEDs. At this point, you might say, even I, as a child, could SEE what was going on. Now they have TVs, sing pop songs by American Idols, etc etc. But the damage is done. How many have gone away from the Church--and eternal life!?! Anymore my meditation is this: O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

Peter latin mass accompanied with a small choir is uplifting . Without the choir its a little voyeuristic. Although I do get a lot of praying done. . The calendar variation is criminal . The sermons are way Better in with the latin mass priests i believe the eucharist changes into the body of christ in the latin mass not the NO

16:00 The "Faithful" "participate" in the Mass even less than the fans at a baseball game. Even the priest does not "participate" in the Mass (as such), any more than he could "participate" with Our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross. (It is true that St Paul said we fill up in our own sufferings what is "lacking" in the sufferings of Christ, but this is an accidental, as distinguished from an essential participation.) Our Lord Jesus Christ is both Priest and Victim at Holy Mass, which is why the priest strives to suppress his own individuality and immerse himself in the rubrics.

The only flaw is the perhaps naievity... humm... not quite right -- it might be an attitude of kindness to the sincere ignorant -- regarding the origin of Novus Ordo Missae.

You don't give an *specific* reasons to go to the Mass using the pre-1970 Missal. You list a bunch of nice sounding platitudes.
