I remember when a church in Phoenix was permitted to offer the Latin mass. The service was SRO, the front rows were full of invalids, some who had been taken out of hospitals and nursing homes by their families so they could one again experience the Latin mass. Some were Catholics who had not gone to church since Vatican II.

They had to bring large fans in because of the oppressive heat. Many of the elderly were in tears at seeing and hearing their faith once again.

Noticeable by their absence were those proponents of trendy modernism, who were trying very hard to ignore what was happening. Afterwards they acted like it had never happened and that it would be “better” if the church again turned to guitars, pastels, and everyone giving each other hugs, while listening to politically correct inanities.
