<P>If these changes can continue and clean up some of the awful things I've endured when I've traveled and "mass" was something endured for Sunday obligation (about as much of a true Mass as day old cold instant grits is to fresh buscuits and sawmill gravy), then I say, "full steam ahead." I've felt for years that the traditional Latin Mass should be widely available everywhere for everyone. I felt that way when I was Anglican. The "reformers' there took away a lot of the beauty of the classic Anglican rite and gutted it with the Whiskypagan version of some of the "contemporary masses" we've all endured at one time or another like an infected toenail.</P>

<P>In <EM>Newsweek</EM>, George Weigel writes in part:<BR></P>
<P>It was to accelerate that "reform of the reform" that Benedict XVI issued a decree last summer permitting the widespread use of the 1962 Roman rite, known technically as the Missal of <A class=related title="Pope John XXIII" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Pope+John+XXIII">John XXIII</A>. Amidst the recent, fevered speculations that Latin days are here again, it's important to note what the Missal of John XXIII is <EM>not</EM>. It is not the "Tridentine Rite," because it includes modifications of the missal mandated by the Council of Trent in the 16th century; it is not the "mass of Pius V," which some Catholic megatraditionalists argue is the only valid form of Catholic worship. It is, in fact, the mass as celebrated every day at every session of the Second Vatican Council.</P>
