Amen. A non biblical, cultural reflection from a Millenia ago. Not required to worship in spirit and truth.

As far as I know, none of us Latin Mass attendees are pushing for to make it 'required' for all Catholics. If you like your Mass, you can keep your Mass. The point here is that some of us like Latin Mass. Why can't we enjoy it in peace without this Argentine leftist casting aspersions on us?

As for the 'rigidity' thing, one could make the argument that ANY sort of Mass (Tridentine Latin, the English 'New Mass,' Byzantine whatever) is a rigid sort of worship. To Pope Francis, Latin Mass attendees are rigid. But does he not realize that his preferred religious practices are viewed the same way by much of the world? Francis should ask himself why does anyone need to go to Mass at all? Why even belong to the Church or even have a Pope? Why not sit on the lawn and smoke a joint? That's the logical result of his mentality, but he's not bright enough to see it.
