How do you feel about a restoration that would use the vernacular? Is Latin a vital component? If so, why?
I would be fine with the hybrid missal of 1965. It simply followed VII instructions to introduce some vernacular while employing a straight translation of the 1962 missal. It didn’t create a “banal, fabricated liturgy” (Cardinal Ratzinger’s description, not mine) out of thin air as happened with the 1970 missal of Paul VI.
Just simply have the English translation of the Latin words, problem solved.
Latin is a wonderful language, but using the vernacular is much more important.
Interesting. I just googled “missal of 1965” and found it complete on line.

Just buy “Greatest hits of Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts”, and you will be good to go.

Good Morning and THANK-YOU for making my day with that sacred music update! :)
The Catholic Church is in dire straits in Scotland as far as music goes. Mournful dirges dragged out interminably slowly, with the words often blasphemous, heretical or plain nonsensical, as long as they rhyme it does not seem to matter. The two I hate with a vengeance (and will never go back to a church where I have heard them sung) are “Fill My House Unto the Fullest” and “One bread on Body”. The “St. Louis Jesuits” (who are not Jesuits at all) and their woeful dirges should be banned.
