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

[Art Kelly]

Did you see what the Diocese of Richmond said were the
differences between the current rite of the Mass and
the Tridentine?

(The Richmond Diocese has a reputation for
liberalism.)

Old-style Latin Mass

Some differences in the 16th century Tridentine Mass:

The rite is entirely in Latin. 
The priest faces the altar and has his back to the
congregation. 
There is less lay participation. 
Just bread is used in Communion, instead of bread and
wine.
