[Apologetics] Re:Area priests see little demand for Latin Mass

[Dianne Dawson]

I'm not surprised at this.  
  1) The Motu Proprio is still fairly new.  
  2) It doesn't actually take effect until Oct. 1 (?).
  3) People who prefer the Latin Mass have been shunned and denigrated by their priests for so long that a lot of people are still reluctant to ask for it.
   
  The recent discussion in this forum is a good example of what many people experience.  Both sides of the "Latin Mass" debate make good points.  However, I don't understand why there is such a knee jerk reaction whenever the Latin Mass is mentioned.  If it was good enough for the universal Church for hundreds and hundreds of years, why is it all of a sudden totally wrong? (this is a rhetorical question)
   
  Personally, sometimes my soul needs to jump and shout to a good ol' gospel-style Mass, sometimes the Novus Ordo, and sometimes the quiet, reverent, and mystical Tridentine Mass.

Church leaders likely would need special training to
perform the old-style ceremony.

Several Roman Catholic priests in Southwest Virginia
are thankful demand for the old-style Latin Mass
hasn't emerged here because they are already stretched
thin trying to serve rural parishes.
