[Apologetics] Latin Days Are Here Again?

[Dianne Dawson]

Stephen,
I believe I said that they "tend to lean more toward the ultra-conservative."  While I don't agree with their stance on the Novus Ordo or the papacy, those views don't make the article uninteresting.

Hi
 
The Traditional Mass website appears to be run by 
ultra-"conservatives", yes - more "conservative" than the SSPX.  In fact, 
they appear to be an SSPX splinter group, and sede vacantists at 
that.
 
The website links to their parish - http://www.sgg.org/
 
The parish website links to a page about their 
clergy - http://www.sgg.org/general-info/clergy/
 
Their bishop was ordained a priest by Lefebvre, and 
later left due to Lefebvre's liturgical reforms.
 
The page states:
 
As a seminarian at Ecône in autumn 
1973, he had already come to the conclusion that the only logical explanation 
for evil of the the New Mass and the errors of Vatican II was that Paul VI, due 
to personal heresy, had lost the pontificate. Ever since, he has steadfastly 
held that position regarding Paul VI and his successors, and never once 
acknowledged them as popes in the Canon of his Mass.
 
Their articles at http://www.traditionalmass.org/articles/index.php include 
several on the heresies of Pope (they don't call him that) Benedict XVI, and a 
host of other oddities, including their sede vacantist position.
 
Their seminary is the Most Holy Trinity Seminary in 
Warren, Michigan, is sede vacantist:
 
The Seminary professes that 
Vatican II and the doctrinal, disciplinary and liturgical reforms which have 
proceeded from it are substantial alterations of the Catholic Faith. It 
professes that these heretical, evil, and blasphemous reforms can in no way 
proceed from the Roman Catholic Church, since she is infallible in her 
doctrines, her disciplines, and her liturgical worship. The Seminary therefore 
professes that the members of the Novus Ordo hierarchy (including and especially 
Benedict XVI), despite any and all appearances of authority, are not true 
Catholic popes nor true Catholic bishops, and do not possess the authority to 
rule, for they are the authors of the doctrinal, disciplinary and liturgical 
abominations which have invaded our holy places. The Seminary professes that 
they are false shepherds, and ought to be denounced as such. -- http://www.mostholytrinityseminary.org/aboutus.htm
 
God bless,
Stephen

Even  though the folks at Traditional Mass tend to lean more toward the ultra-conservative, there is an interesting  comparison of the Pius V Mass and the John XXIII Mass at: http://www.traditionalmass.org/articles/article.php?id=18&catname=6

Also,  there is an interesting forum discussion, "How does the EF (1962)  differ from the Mass of the 1950's?" at: http://musicasacra.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=431

Latin Days Are Here Again?
 
In Newsweek, George Weigel writes in part:

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 John XXIII. Amidst the recent, fevered  speculations that Latin days are here again, it's important to note what  the Missal of John XXIII is not. 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.
