And, of all people, Bernardin was the instigator of the Tridentine Mass in Chicago!
A peaceful coexistence can and should exist.
When you pray you rise to meet in the air those who are praying at that very hour, and whom save in prayer you may not meet.

This is one more (of the few) issue that I'm in total agreement with you on. Make both masses available to everyone and and long as it's orthodox and reverent, let people worship as they please.
What a revolutionary concept! /sarcasm
It also shows that, contrary to what some would claim, the Missa Normativa can be celebrated reverently and properly, and that generous application of the Traditional Latin Mass can also help in that regard.
I would love to see such co-existance become the norm, allowing those who are attached to each form of the liturgy their preference.
You are absolutely right! Both liturgies are valid - let both be celebrated and let catholics choose which liturgy best meets their spiritual need.

The Novus Ordo Latin mass at St. John Cantius hardly resembles the typical Novus Ordo. In this mass, the priest faces the altar and sings the mass in Latin, many would probably see little difference, at least externally, between this mass and the high Tridentine mass. Even the English Masses at this parish are not like the typical NO masses since they use altar rails here and only priests and deacons distribute communion.
Almost like an oxymoron? No?
Would be interesting to see which would become the more popular.. I know where I would be....
I was thinking about you when I saw it. I'm going to find out mass times today and will certainly be checking it out ASAP.
"Make both masses available to everyone and and long as it's orthodox and reverent, let people worship as they please."
So, what are we to do with those that are irreverant - ie the other 99% of NO "Masses"? Are we allowed (outside of free will)to worship at those that are irreverent?
YOU worship at the Tridentine Mass. I thought that's what you wanted.
YOU avoided the question. It's not what I want that matters.
Or do you, like some, insist that the Novus Ordo has to go?
You are still avoiding the question. It was directed to AAABEST, but if you want to dialogue, sinkspur, it helps if we stay on topic. So please answer the question or pipe down, please.
The answer to your question is: go to a Tridentine Mass if you're not happy with the Novus Ordo Mass.
According to the evening prayers in my Saint Andrew Daily Missal (Tridentine), irreverence at mass is a sin against the First Commandment. Therefore, I don't think you are allowed to worship at those masses.

Yes, I understand MY irreverence at Mass would be sinful. My question is: is one allowed to attend a Mass that is irreverent? I ask this because I so often see people talking about the reverence of the Traditional Latin Mass as opposed to the NO. Where do we draw the line? Liturgical dancers in tights?
