I think you may well have hit the nail on the head. I’ve seen anecdotal reports to the effect that once a Parish dedicates just one Mass a week to the Latin Mass, attendance suddenly jumps up. Orthodoxy works because its rich in meaning and context and people really want something they can sink their teeth into.
As for the Church to be the last remaining light in the US, I’m not so sure the Gov’t won’t intervene to kill that light or at least, hide it under a bushel basket of regulations. Hasn’t that been the Canadian experience? or not. I don’t know.
Well, of course. It is "intervening to kill" now. Governments want pocket churches, uncentralized and without hierarchy; they don't want the Catholic Church.
However, the Church never lost a battle; we won't lose this one.
