When you grow up with the NO like I did, you don’t learn ANY of this. I’m trying to catch up now. Thanks for the help!

I can clearly remember while in high school, that our priest said "Protestants will break our doors down to get in". The truth however was very different. The new mass caused a great many of our own people to break the doors down to get out. I was one of them. When I moved to southern Missouri, we had the Traditional Latin Mass available to us once a month on a Wednesday evening. Last November, that priest retired and the bishop did not replace him with anyone who could/would offer the Traditional Mass, so now I'm without a church to go to. I didn't leave the church...it left me, and I will not go back to the modernist mass that drove me away in the first place.

I am a convert, I was Christened in the Church of England. I attended church it was almost word for word a translation of the Catholic Mass. I am 87, I am thankful that the SSPX will uphold the faith in the one true apostolic Church.

I was born in 1956, baptized Catholic and raised in a Catholic home. I remember going to the Old Mass and I remember it changing to the New Mass. By then mu family rarely attended. We had a number of problems that had we been practicing the Traditional Catholic Faith, I believe we may have overcome. Instead it turned us into luke-warm Catholics at best and barely Catholics at least. I feel we were robbed and I pray for all the souls who were led astray by the protestantation of the Mass Of All Time. May God have mercy on us all. And may He restore His One, Holy, Catholic and ApostolicChurch... SOON!!!!!

God bless the SSPX! Keep up the excellent work! I’ve learned a lot with you guys

Stay strong SSPX I’m a 1974 convert and will never change. God bless you for keeping the true faith available to Catholics & Christians!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This presentation is a first rate explanation done with clarity, examples and tremendous illumination. The SSPX is one of the most hopeful things in the darkness of modernity. As I listened to the Novus Ordo in this presentation it was horrifying and painful. I have forwarded this presentation to several friends and family members. Please continue to produce such excellent and useful videos.

Why should we Catholics be pleasing protestants? We should only be pleasing God,Jesus and Mary with the communion of Saints as Traditional Catholic Church. Makes me upset that I have always thought the NO Mass was the only one. Thank you for this information. God bless you both.

A most disturbing aspect of the ‘ Penitential Act’ in the Novus Ordo mass is confessing our sins to each other and at no point to ‘father’. “ I confess to Almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters that I have greatly sinned...’ ‘ my brothers and sisters simply replace the word father.. this is jarring …. I grew up a Catholic attending the Mass prior to the heartbreaking new order mass. What catechism class did I miss that taught me to confess my sins to my Catholic neighbors? What Sacrament is that exactly? Its another clear example of the post Vatican-2 mass being horizontal in nature not vertical.

Based on the information from the Crises in the Church series, and this series covering the Sacraments, one can see how and why attending the Novus Ordo is a threat to one's belief and practice of the true Catholic Faith.

Thanks to the FSSPX my wife and I can attend to Traditional Latin Mass in Jakarta. We live in Bali, but we go to Jakarta as often as we can. We love the COMPLETE liturgy of the Mass

That was absolutely wonderful of how you explained the differences between the Latin & NO mass. So glad I came in as a convert to the SSPX 45 years ago & stayed with it! Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What a wonderful lecture!!! Greetings from Poland, Cracow, we attend the SSPX chapel there. Father Robinson had also fantastic interviews by dr Marshall. Laudetur Iesus Christus!!!

Wow this is eye opening ! I was 5 or 6 when the Mass changed. I have been a parishioner of a small SSPX chapel for the last 3 or 4 years. It is a pretty long drive and I have to get up at 4 AM on Sunday mornings but I can't think of a better reason to get up after 1or 2 hrs or no sleep then to get up to go to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Prayers at the foot of the altar very important too, to call in God into our sacrrfice and acknowlege our desire to have Him save us and to protect us from evil. Sets a tone of humility.

Very fruitful to understanding the intentional differences between new and the traditional mass. 3 Hail Marys for Fr Robinson to whom we owe so much.

When I attended the NO years ago, I disliked the "kiss of peace" soooo much! I would act like I had a cold so I wouldn't have to participate. 😄

You are a light in our ever darkening world. Your work is critically important, as Archbishop Lefebvre knew it would be. My sister and I live 2 1/2 hours from the closest SSPX church. We pray a chapel will come to our area soon 🙏🏼

Look what they did to us. 60 years ago, any Church, any country same Holy Mass, same Holy language. No confusion, no division, no hate, no effeminacy, no loss of faith. Surely V2 fall is the dark sides meister werk. SSPX Special Forces. Last and final Legion. One that will Victor+ Holy Mother wrap these good men in thy mantle+Allow us to rise and vanquish this foe+

Thanks be to God for the beautiful truth of the SSPX!!! This explains so much and it is horrifying to me. I am so thankful I found the SSPX.

I was absolutely stunned by this presentation . I can now see how the mass has been rearranged to suit protestants… now I understand how the new mass is destroying Catholics and why so many are against it. No wonder they’re leaving. It’s a protestant service. I am just so blessed that the traditional mass happens close enough for me to go every Sunday. I grew up with the Latin mass and drifted away from the church for 47 years and when I came back, the mass was in English and I could understand everything so I enjoyed it tremendously, but I was instructed at my very first attendance that you do not receive communion on the tongue… I became very active in my church Bible studies, prayer groups, charismatic prayer groups I love praising God, but one day just by accident I stumbled into a Latin mass in another town. I was completely lost. But I had to keep going back, and I couldn’t really figure out why I just had to go back every Sunday ! I would do the NO at my parish and drive to the other town and make it to the Latin mass.… I realized the sole reason I was going back every Sunday was because I could kneel and receive on my tongue. I needed that reverence …. it has only been a couple months and I can now keep up with mass, and what I have noticed is that I have more reverence for simple things like sign of the cross, holy water… I think I am beginning to get my faith back! I guess I’m becoming less of a protestant? Lol?

Great video!!!! Sharing with my siblings and praying for them to wake up and return to the faith

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.” ― George Orwell, 1984

I have been delighted to watch the construction of the wonderful new Immaculata church in Kansas - what a wonder and almost a miracle. To think, that SSPX started as a faithful adherence in the heart of one man, to the traditional mass. The new church - such a beautiful monument to faith, and destined to see thousands of baptisms, weddings and consecrations, thanks to Archbishop Lefebvre - who is surely a saint. 🙏❤️🙏

Excellent step by step breakdown of the deviations within the Novus Ordo. Thank you, Fr. Robinson, and Andrew for this episode. Thanks be to God for ++Archbishop Lefebvre and the Society for protecting and maintaining the True Mass.

A pertinent distinction for me - If I go into a Latin mass stressed and negative, I come out after an hour calm and peaceful. If I go to NO mass, after 30 or 35 mins I come out even more stressed and angry....reason I think is the silence, the prayers and lengthy time of kneeling allows and helps me to adjust my focus internally on God and thereby release the stress to Him. At the same time, those around me are doing the same so energy is more supportive. Not so in the NO too much talking too much moving and the sign of peace very disruptive, I can do that outside, I am in church for God alone as my focus to offer up a sacrifice with His Son to the Father for my sins and those of the world, not have a memorial meal. Big and important difference for my soul and spirit

"Only say the Word and my soul shall be healed. "

I am not Catholic, but I have attended many Masses. I am struck by how Protestant the Mass has become. Sometimes it's almost indiscernible from from a Protestant liturgy.

I’m 70, and I had only about 10years with the traditional Latin Mass. My first Holy Communion was extraordinary and I remember the weeks of preparation and study. And yes, by the time I was 12 all had changed so much it was unrecognizable and we all showed up to a nighttime Mass to honor the Bishop it seamed to me. I continued at university to go to the Chapel on Campus. Then, as I graduated and moved from My native state all masses nationwide were disarming to me as I traveled. When I went to Europe and became more comfortable again with the ancient Catholic Churches there that were not all NO as yet even into the 1980’s. Several times I returned home and was so aware of a void and I slowly stopped going to Mass. my leaving even the NO Mass left me hollow and wanting. I did in fact look to other religions searching for what I’d had as a child. It all tarnished by understanding, reading the Bible for me became a chore because I could not find what I needed. To end a long speech… I’m so glad I found EWTN in 2015 when I was severely ill in the local Catholic Hospital for 10 weeks with pneumonia and continued with IV infusions for another 10 weeks at home. I found so much strength through the Divine Mercy prayers and Chaplet to renew my faith, reading so much from books and videos from Fatima and lately to UTUBE for instruction, prayer are all instrumental to my immersion back in to the Traditional Catholic Church today. Even just today I was guided to finally find a Chapel near my old neighborhood to return to the Traditional Catholic Mass. Alleluia, praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ for his steadfast love to provide! AMEN.

Thank you, this is tremendously helpful. God bless you.

Fr Robinson you are a real blessing thank you

I recently attended a Byzantine Liturgy and the Priest concluded the Our Father with the “For Thine is the Kingdom” Prayer. I remember this from my childhood attending the Byzantine Rite too. The priest says the prayer not the laity.

The protestant version of the Lord's Prayer that Cranmer and later Bugnini put into their versions of the "Mass" is actually supposedly taken from the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. This may be true on the part of Cranmer, because he had a fascination of the east, but it is likely that Bugnini just took the protestant form given his attitude toward the liturgy.

I am so grateful for this podcast! Finally, I have something to share with those who insist that we can attend both-- that it is simply a matter of spiritual preference. I now have been able to completely reject the new mass and totally give myself to the SSPX parish. I am now determined to relocate my life, so I am close to an SSPX parish where the traditional Mass is the norm.

Fr. Paul and Andrew I have been watching your podcasts you have done an amazing job I have learnt alot also shared with my Novus friends may God bless you abudantly. Nairobi, Kenya.

Thank you so much for this teaching. It is so enlightening and good to hear. We all knew in our Heart something was not right. So thank you thank you thank you. God Bless you both.

Thank God I never return to the NO, since 2018.

What on earth? It’s gravely insufficient indeed. Thank you Father Paul. What are we to do? We need more SSPX chapel around the world. Please forgive me my Lord God.

Fr. Robinson, listening for the 2nd time. Still missing having you as our priest! You, and all our priests are in our daily Rosary. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Father. Great presentation of the differences and the errors of the Novus Ordo vs the Tridentine missa. It is hard to believe how it was widely accepted, nevertheless after 50+ years, it is clear by it’s barren fruits that it was the work of the devil. So much blindness and pride is shown by its lack of reverence to the Eucharist. May the Lord have mercy and bring light to all who are spiritually blinded.

God bless inmensely SSPX your faithful love to God, thank you for your teachings that break my heart in tears...

Thank you for taking the time to go through the NO step by step. Now I understand why Father has told us not to attend this.

Listened ti it on spotify. Amazing. Thank you very much

Father, this is a very good explanation. I do attend the Ordinariate Mass and I can tell you the big difference in the rubrics and prayers to that of the Novus Ordo mass. I could definitely say that it is more in tune with the TLM. I was wondering if you could also explore the Ordinariate Mass from Anglicanorum Coetibus in comparison with the TLM and include them in the series.

I grew up with the Latin Mass and always liked it. In fact, I used to say that if I had been in a coma for 20 years, then woke and went to the new mass, having not seen the new mass before that, I would have said, where is the Catholic church because that isn't it.

Thank you for this comprehensive comparison between novas ordo and the masses I both watch livestream and attend when possible, over an hour away. I am so very grateful 🙏 for the SSPX for educating us...we must pray to keep our most reverent tradition intact.

I thank Almighty God every day for being raised in the true Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic faith in the 1950s in a devout RC family. To have lived those times is such a blessing. If anyone would have said to me that V2 is going to happen and we will have a new Mass rife with Liturgical abuses, Communion in the hand etc to name just one of the many abuses. I would have laughed in disbelief at something that would have sounded so utterly absurd. And so it did come to pass. I was 21 years old when the New Mass and new religion took place. I never attended Mass again for many years; no way could I offend Our Blessed Lord by accepting and attending such a mockery of the faith founded by Jesus Christ. I thank Almighty God for Abp Marcel Lefebvre, a great man of God who saved the Holy Mass and the faith. Deo gratias.❤

question can the traditional Mass with all the rubrics be said in the vernacular? i have never seen it done.

I believe that it was God's providence that the SSPX was formed to preserve the authentic worship of the Lord in the traditional Sacrifice of the Mass. Praise the Lord!🙏🙏🙏

Please, don't come for me, but I always felt blessed that we have a group of very faithful and orthodox priests in my non-TLM parish, but after watching this I wanted to weep with joy. I scarcely recognized the mass you described, and I am grateful for it. Wow! I begin to think that our priests are closet traditionalists, truly, there were only two or three thing I recognized. Thankfully, the nonsense you describe surrounding the transubstantiation is one of them, though in the vernacular, they use the language you ascribe to the TLM. We do have female lectors, but it is not an official title. I used to just feel thankful that the priests spoke the truth about topics that most would consider controversial and I never had to fear opening the bulletin to find an announcement for a "pride mass" or a speaker coming to talk about being "Catholic and pro-choice", now I have a whole host of other reasons to be thankful. I am also glad that we have the parish and priests that we do because the closest TLM parish is about 2½ hours away and I don't drive. Honestly, and maybe this says more about me than them, I know me, I would find it near to impossible to stay encouraged to deepen my faith and to increase my knowledge of God and the Catholic faith in a church such as you described. In addition, I know that we can't know what is in a person's heart, but I didn't find the priest (bishop?) you featured very inspiring. We have 3 priests on staff, the pastor is a very holy, contemplative, intelligent and insightful man. The parochial vicar has a childlike joy and love for our Blessed Lord. Our newest was just ordained and has such a sweet spirit about. He heard my most recent confession and, even though he looks about 16, he imparted some much needed wisdom and people would do themselves a great disservice by writing him off just because he is young. Anyway... ramble over. Thank you for the video, it was enlightening, though I can't say I am in complete agreement with everything, more knowledge is always better because who knows how God might be able to use it/me in the future. God bless and I really do pray for the TLM community and the flaming red (as in flames of hell) 🎯 you all have painted on you made even worse by virtue of the fact that the one who is supposed to protect you painted it himself. However, I can easily see a day coming when parishes like mine, the very things that make me feel blessed, with become a target, too. A parish that strongly encourages communion on the tongue for everyone and kneeling for those who are able would like be considered an enemy of Rome on just those grounds alone. God help us all!

Thank you for all these podcasts I grew up with the N O mass but I am now a full blown traditionalist and support the SSPX These podcasts really really help!

Thank you Father. may I add please that my brothers and sisters wake up to what is going on around them. When I saw the disrespect to our Lord and he is hurting. so sad I was breaking his Scared Heart. He does not like communion in the hand. H knows prayers have been changed. I had to make my choice to stand with Him and how he wants me to behave in His Church, so I left the church in my parish and found a church that is still with the rails to kneel for communion and still said in Latin , still with incense. Tears flowed down my cheeks non stop with the joy that was in my heart that I felt his presence in the church with my Guardian Angel and all the saints and Saints. Go and see for yourselves there IS a difference in what you will find. We must pray for our Church and pray for our priests, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I just discovered this site and I am looking forward to catching up and learning more about my faith.

Thank you all for bringing this situation to light. The young in the majority know nothing off the precsenc of the holy spirit May God Bless all involved in this pod cast 🙏

In the Byzantine Rite it is common for the Lay people to read the old or new testament readings, but the gospel is still read by the priest.

How can the Priest believe in the real presence if he is allowing Communion on the hands, standing to receive, Eucharistic ministers, girl alter servers, etc 😭 How is this new Mass valid??

Father, you look so sad in this exposé. Thank you for highlighting the many issues in the new Mass.

I received First Communion in 1962 and learned all the catechism about the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful in grammar school. This is a wonderful refresher of everything I used to understand the Mass to be before 1969. Thank you for this insightful series. Novus Ordo is just trying to sell cars. (Shia Leboeuf)

Father! I didn't really understand the full implications of the New Mass, whilst at the same time feeling uncomfortable. I'm 70 years old and as at school during the second vatican council. It seemed like everything we believed was thrown away and we were taught that we had been set free. I'm so grateful to you for this series of videos. I've never felt like I belonged since then.

I have just discovered your series. Thank you for this so much needed in this time. My feet are planted in these words, "NO EVIL WILL PREVAIL AGAINST MY CHURCH" and so I hold on to that. For the 1st time I'm watching episode 9. THANK YOU and I pray for you and all the priests in the trenches, fighting this abomination. As for myself, I had to leave my Parish out of desperation. After having attended Mass I'd leave empty, disappointed. Isn't the intention of attending Mass to fill one's soul? I thought it was. So I made the decision to attend a Bizantine Rite of the Catholic Church. The 1st time I attended their Mass after I had made the decision to be a permanent parishioner, I prayed these words to Jesus, because the Mass was 1/2 in their original language, different from mine, and 1/2 in English. Because 95% of the Mass is sung, it's difficult to understand the words; MY JESUS, YOU KNOW I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING ANYTHING THAT IS BEING SAID, BUT I KNOW THE HOLY TRINITY IS BEING PRAISED ADORED AND GLORIFIRD IN THE WAY YOU SHOULD AND DESERVE, THATS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. THE MASS IS ABOUT YOU NOT ABOUT ME" Since that day, I have attended many Masses and I'm getting the hang of it...and I absolutely love it. When I leave (it's 1/2 hrs drive from my home) my hart smiles all the way home. The Bishop and the Pastor of my New Church have been called by the pope to go to Rome for 3 weeks. My great concern is that he is trying to corrupt the beauty of worshipping in this church as well. Most ladies wear a veil during Mass. The Parish is not under the control of the Roman Bishop. They answer to their own Bishop....but it's still under the tutelage of the Pope. I ask for your prayers that my new Bishop and pastor prevail over Bergoglio's pressure and insistence.

Thank you so very much for this valuable in-depth explanation. God bless you Father (and Andrew!)

Thank you for this information, always attended the new mass. planning to attend a traditional Latin mass. God bless you.

Thank you, Fr. Robinson.

Thanks so much great work

Thank you so very much for these instructional videos. God Bless Your ministry.

Thank you Father!

I just want to point out that in the parish church where I was catechized before my Baptism in 2021, the pastor did mention several saints by name. Whether it happened every Mass I can't recall with certainty, but I think so.

I’m so glad that comments were not shut off on this video because the comments are really helpful

Wow the scriptural context for "work of human hands", the similarity to the prayer of the pharisee, and the use of a passover prayer from after the destruction of the temple: scary. I could make a joke and use the phrase "that's not kosher", but at the very least Cardinal Bugnini's got some 'splainin' to do.

Thanks!

What do you advise Father for new mass attendees that do live the sacrifice of our Jesus Christ with such adoration and reverence even though it is very incomplete and disrespected, what are our options if we have no Traditional mass near by. Do we keep attending the new mass or don't go to mass at all?

For years and years I never went to the church. There are so many catholic churches around me. But none of them offer the Latin mass.

This may be an improper place to ask this question, hopefully though someone can help me out so here goes! I received my 1962 missal the other day (I love it!) I was wondering though if there was a smaller version of the traditional missal that was just the proper's (of seasons and saints) and the ordinary of the mass. I basically am looking for a more pocket sized missal, that could be used at any Latin mass.

Well done.

Thank you 🙏

Since Catholics should follow the example set by Jesus; when Jesus and his apostles went to the Temple in Jerusalem to worship: Jesus and the Apostles would face the Holy of the Holies. Hence their backs were facing the groups of people at the Temple.

I really hated the sign of peace in the NO. At the most solemn part of the mass they start socializing.

I am watching from Australia. Viva Christ the King

Thank you Father the NO is like a race horse racing to the finish line, no time to deeply pray the mass. I find the prayers very superficial and I come out felling angry. If the traditional mass gets totally shut down then I will be saying the mass with Jesus as my priest

When Jesus instituted this Holy Sacrament HE faced HIS disciples. The priest, Altus Christus, faces Jesus’s disciples. We as Children of GOD are all brothers and sisters, past, present and future. Yes, I attend the N O Mass. When I returned to The FAITH, it was the only Mass in town. Blessed MOTHER brought me back to The Church with the understanding that this was The Sacrifice of Her SON, WHO was Honoring The Father for us, for our sins. I also had the gift of tears many times as I envisioned Jesus’s Crucifixion before me. I was lead to read a booklet “The Holy Mass”. It contains words of Our Blessed Mother to Catalina Rivas, it was enlightening. I vaguely recall The Latin Mass when I was a teenager. The words were more eloquent than the NO Mass. I participate with the spirit of The Latin Mass. With tears I receive my Savior on the tongue, kneeling. I am sorry that the hierarchy kowtowed to the Protestants and now also to the government, i.e. the lockdown. Jesus is GOD and a Jew. HE came to save us from ourselves, from sin. HE said HE came not to change HIS Teachings but that we would have greater abundance, which I believe is HIM, GOD. I wish more people understood what was happening in The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I understand what the SSPX is saying. 🙏 MAY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST COVER US, save us ( from The Chaplet of The PRECIOUS BLOOD of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, which is on KZfaq!) 🙏🩸🙏

Excellent presentation and explanation... I may have missed it in one of the Crisis series podcasts, but I cannot seem to locate a straight forward answer as to whether or not there is salvation in the Norvus Ordo mass. I understand that this can be an ambiguous question; however, an example being, a devout Norvus Ordo Catholic, who truly believes that what they have been attending, and participating in, for the past 50 years is actually the true church. Unfortunately, part of the participation factor includes taking part in one of the most sacrilegious parts of that mass, which is being a eucharistic minister. I am sure that this topic alone can be an entire podcast in itself. Thank you Andrew and Father Robinson 🙏🏼

Thank you for this educational series, it has taught me so much. Is there a plan to have a video that explains, step by step, prayer by prayer, the Holy Mass and how to learn it and follow along for new attendees? Thank you!

Thank you for presenting this series of educational videos of our faith and traditions. Our Catholic Church is so rich in traditions and devotions, we may feel overwhelmed sometimes but I love it. We need to be well formed and informed. I’d love to hear more about his most reverence Bishop Lefebvre, his missions, his works and heroism defending our faith. Any book you recommend? 🙏🙏🙏

How to explain to catholic in novus ordo and protestants the blood of Jesus from altar can drink only the priest 🙏🏻❤️my friend he started to understand now the Eucharist but he do no understand why we can’t drinking the wine blood of Jesus Christ

30:17 Novus Ordo acts like they have most of the Bible, but they put the harder scripture for daily mass and the easy ones for Sunday

St. Alphonsus said, "Peace to men of good will," means, " peace to those who do God's will." As the scripture says, "There is no peace to the wicked."

Oh yes, the priest has the authority, bestowed to him by Jesus himself. I believe the priest has a special privilege. Praise the Lord

But the NO does include the word “victim” multiple times, just as in the old mass: “This pure victim, this holy victim, this spotless victim...” These English words are from the new mass. Did the original 1970 missal not include this? Was it part of Pope Benedict XVI’s 2011 edition? Even so, Fr. Robinson is speaking on outdated information. I’d find it more compelling if you were to speak about the Novus Ordo as it stands today, after some of these “counter-reforms” have happened to it. I love this series overall though. Very informative.

I wish we would go back to the Traditional Catholic Mass.

The faithful never asked for the Mass to be changed. Will we ever get back our Traditional Mass and do away with the Novus Ordo?

History is showing that our strength is in our difference in the TLM arena with protestant converts at our church which is rapidy growing and is very strong actively in community support led by the priests in the traditional format. It has a very different feel about it to a NO community. Sadly we are under threat and we need a bigger church...makes no sense.

My family does not go to church anymore except my husband. How can we show more reverence Mass especially since my husband is very hard of hearing and doesn't pay attention. I go every day and your discussion shows me insight o was not aware of. We can't go to a Traditional Mass because he has difficulty walking and is on a lot of pain pain. Thanks

A bit unfair to those NO priests who do include a long litany of early saints ( even unto Felicity Perpetua Agnes Cecilia Anastasia) every time they say Canon 1. Just heard it this AM in the Memorial of the Passion of John the Baptist. I always wondered how they know when to cut off the list of names!

Is there any part of the no Mass valid? Or els I have wasted 33 years worth of Masses. Please tell me

I have tried very hard to adapt to the New mass and I just can't. I feel like I'm in the wrong place doing the wrong thing at my church. I had a long talk with my priest about these things and told him "To me, Mass feels like the Cliff notes of what I grew up with.". I just can't do this.

So many of the old Churches in Europe never had and still don’t have pews, I’ve been there. Pews in Europe is a new thing.

How has the new translation helped. This was brought up in the beginning. After corrections were made, what specifically are the problems with the N.O.?

When that priest sings he sound like a Kenny G smooth jazz album

I am in my 40’s and we have only ever had the NO mass available. There are no Latin masses within hours of highway driving of where I live so sadly we can only keep our Sunday obligations at a NO parish. All that being said, I grew up not knowing about the Traditional Mass until 2020. We were taught in Catholic school that the NO mass was the same as the Traditional but just spoken in English so that the lay people could understand. I now know how untrue that is but as someone who does not speak Latin, as most lay Catholics, how were the lay people to know all this and that the translations were so wrong. Surely the priests should have all recognized the lack and the errors in the language. All the lay people would have noted was the visible and obvious stuff. Listening to this talk, it’s even worse than I thought. I know I always believed that priests, bishops and cardinals would not have gone along with a mass that was deficient in any way. Of course the stuff that went on in the medical field, which I work in, during the recent worldwide health crisis opened my eyes to how people who know better will just go along to get along despite questioning if something is right or wrong. The situation we are in now seems such a mess.

It is my understanding that in the early Church, with the Apostles and until the Christians where no longer allowed in the temple,/ synagogue the Christians attended services, the reading of the Penteach, and then they gathered out of the synagogue at someone’s home to have the sacrificial meal- so scripture was a big part of giving glory to God.. Also in the early Church, early Church Father times30-600 AD. The Ammas , early women, of the church, many lived monastic lives but taught and assisted the priests. The kiss of peace was also part of the early Mass. I have never heard anyone other than the priest or deacon asking or contributing to the intentions of the Mass. These are read by the deacon or priest. The i is called the offertory in my parish . It is my understanding that we offer ourselves, and the gifts of God and the work of our hands and the bread and wine are truly become Christ’s sacrificial body. Christ is also called the Lamb of God. Our NO Mass always lasts 1hr.or more. The joke from Protestant members on my extended family is a bet that it will be longer than an hour. Our daily Mass is always 30-35 minutes minimum. I remember going to daily Latin Mass on my way to Catholic school. If the city buss was ten minutes late a frequently missed mass or was able to barely walk up for communion. In the Mass we are present at calvery - it is not a re-enactment. Think this priest might not fully understand the NO Mass or he is openly presenting it as something that it is not, The words of Consecration are the same as with the original-- the consecration is definitely the changing bread and wine into Christ’s Body and blood. He has the “ exchange of gifts” is definitely offering God to God. I am very disappointed the way this priest has presented the NO with his apparent bias. I will pray that he will one day realize that zthe NO Mass is just as true a sacrifice as is the Latin. My pastor and many of my pastors say they use Eucharistic prayer #1 as it is the original Latin Mass cannon. There are 4 prayers from which to choose. I think “ all the saints” kind of includes the newly elected saints in the Mass. It does not exclude the other saints. I have always heard - through Our Lord Jesus Christ. I think using the words from scripture is much more relevant than saying an interpretation at the consecration. My priests are very reverent, with a lot of pauses and done slowly with reverence. No matter Latin or NO, if the priest is not reverent the Mass is not what was intended. I have been to some very rushed and improper Latin Masses in my school days. I have been to far fewer rushed NO. Mass. What shame that the clergy/ magisterium cannot work together to use the best from both . By the way, the “ for the kingdom…”. Is in the Bible a few verses after the Our Father. Kiss of peace can and is very reverent. I am certain that Christ is pleased with all who say/ attend Mass prayerfully and reverently. “ Body of Christ” Amen”- I believe this is truly Christ. Communion in the hand can be very reverent just as on the tongue. The priest does give the host at communion. The parishioners bow prior to receiving in the hand. In some parishes the alter boy holds a patten under the priests hands. I have never seen such irreverences as this priest mentions. I do believe it would prevent some disrespect from Satanists. In the past Satanists were receiving the Eucharist on tongue and then taking it out of their mouths after they walked out of Church. My Dad, an usher, stopped a person in such a case. I would like to kneel to receive Eucharist but we do not have kneelers- they have been requested. Dropped hosts in our parish is treated just as it is done in the Latin rite. God bless all. We faithful Catholics are just trying to do our best. Catechesis has been a disaster pre and post Vatican II. I understand much more about the meaning of the Mass and devotions since Vatican II than I ever did before. Think the focus for understanding the Mass and the faith was consecrated on the clergy and left the faithful to just obey the rules because the Church said so. I have a much deeper relationship with Christ since I am more actively participating in the Mass. The priest is still in persona of Christ, but the faithful do have a part to play and do have the need and right to be part of the Mass. Christ did not exclude His apostles nor did the apostles exclude the people. This is not a power position. The Latin Mass is beautiful and so is the NO Mass beautiful and true worship of the Catholic Church. 🙏🏻😇
