Catholics, what are your thoughts about the Latin Mass?

I love the 1962 liturgy. The circus atmosphere of the Novus Ordo as commonly celebrated prevents me from properly participating in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

I think this is a new opportunity to experience the great diversity and variety that the Universal Church offers.

Here is the Pope's letter on the subject: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/let...

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles celebrates the Mass in the following languages of the people:

With love in Christ.

I did like the Latin Masses growing up. I'm used to the Masses now. I think that one Latin Mass should be said on Sunday so the people that want to go to it can.

I am all for it. It is good to have a choice. The sacrificial character of the Mass is more pronounced in the Latin version.

Peace and every blessing!

I have only been to 4 of them, but they are great. This is what the Catholic Church was like for nearly 1700 years.

It is more of an experience that everyone (Catholic and non-Catholic alike) should have at least once in their life.

some people like those types of churches some don't. I like my church. that's not a latin one. but some like latin ones.. that's up to them, i am always willing to go to the church but if i don't like it i would go to a differant one. simple as that.
