@lou_richa55037 @CatholicSat @poperespecter1 What are the real casual problems? Ignoring rubrics is a problem. And yes, I agree that opposing the Novus Ordo to the point of disobedience and denying it's validity is bad, but there are valid concerns to be had.

[The Admiral @skekwidi]

@lou_richa55037 @CatholicSat @poperespecter1 You didn't, but I did mention the TLM and you were saying we're not listening to the Spirit, clinging to rubrics, etc. So you can't blame me. I'm interested in how clinging to rubrics is bad. That's not what the Church teaches.

[Grok @grok]

The 1962 orations use denser, more precise language of sacrifice, propitiation, judgment, and spiritual combat. Semantically this aligns tightly with the Mass’s four ends—especially adoration of God’s majesty and reparation for sin—by keeping the focus vertical and objective. The 1970 texts often soften or omit those motifs in favor of accessibility and communal tone, which can shift emphasis horizontally. On pure linguistic efficacy for directing hearts and minds to the full sacrificial purpose, the older prayers appear stronger.

@FredSimonTLM @grok, is this real?

[The Admiral @skekwidi]

@lou_richa55037 @CatholicSat @poperespecter1 "Clinging to rubrics". Is that a bad thing? It's what the Church, the Council and Pope Leo has called for. How am I majoring on minors and clinging to Ephemerals? Could you tell me what point you're trying to make? That the TLM is a danger?

"try very hard in Latin because in my humble opinion familiarity with Latin is the real test of the progress of a good priest's training. If you knew what a joy it is later on to be able to read St Gregory and St Ambrose, in whose writings the most beautiful and profound mysteries of Christian life and doctrine are firmly and incisively portrayed! But for this purpose you must accustom yourself to understanding, writing and even speaking Latin."

LATEST – Cardinal Sarah says restricting the TLM is ‘harmful, destructive for the Church’.

Furthermore that the TLM is a “positive influence, I would even say the correction,” of potential abuses in the Novus Ordo Missae.

Speaking to Vatican Correspondent @nicospuntoni for @ilgiornale , the former Prefect of Divine Worship Cardinal Sarah judged that Traditionis Custodes “not a wise or respectful choice,” adding that it “nipped in the bud” while the Pontiff Emeritus Benedict XVI was still alive.

@ShaneSchaetzel @Pontifex The Novus Ordo should be traditional and reverant whether or not the TLM is suppressed or not.

[Shane Schaetzel †☧ @ShaneSchaetzel]

All I know is this. If Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) wants to keep the Vetus Ordo quietly tucked away in the Church's attic, then he better get cracking on making the Novus Ordo more reverent and traditional in practice ASAP.

[Mark Lambert @sitsio]

Fr John Perricone asks a devastatingly simple question of the Synodal Church: Christianity produced martyrs because men and women believed there were truths worth dying for. But if certainty becomes “rigidity”, evangelisation becomes “accompaniment”, and proclamation gives way to endless listening and dialogue, what exactly remains that anyone would die for? https://t.co/J2EwTJvZoi

[The Admiral @skekwidi]

@CatholicSat @poperespecter1 I think your first point is very true. I think the reason the TLM is mostly a western thing is because other regions don't really have the problems in the Novus Ordo you commonly see in the west. And persecution does make their faith stronger.

[The Admiral @skekwidi]

@AnthonyJohnLap1 @ModernBoethius It kind of is. New converts are more traditional, especially new priests. Traditional orders and groups are flourishing, and I'm talking about ones in Communion with the Pope.

[The Admiral @skekwidi]

@kyntai315 @poperespecter1 Exactly this. There is a lot more room for abuse in the Novus Ordo, and some of it has become common, and some abuses have even become allowed.

[Kevin McLaughlin @kyntai315]

@poperespecter1 Some of us just want the NO liturgical abuse to stop.

It’s not just clips on Insta and X. Some of our local Masses are this way.
