Surely you jest.
I can’t imagine having to drive four to six hours, in any direction, before finding a Tridentine Mass means anything close to saying, “it has survived very well”. LOL! Only those who don’t care about the TM, or oppose it outright, would say such a thing.
And, nevermind the near shunning of anyone appealing to bishops for the TM, and killing every effort to bring the Tridentine Mass into a diocese and parish. Stories abound coast to coast on the begging and the shunning going on.
“Survived very well”. Ridiculous.
I am not opposed to the TLM myself. Just opposed to those who end up acting not in a spirit Christian charity towards those who attend parishes where there is only the NO mass, even when it is done in a very reverent manner such as at my parish by those who attend TLM masses themselves.
At a time when Christians in other countries are fighting for their lives we who can still worship freely in this country cannot be fighting with each other.
