I have heard over the years from some fellow Catholics stuff like...
If you don’t attend Mass said in Latin, it’s not a legitimate Mass....
Or...here’s another one...if receive Holy Communion in your hand (as opposed to the tongue) you’re not really a Catholic.

And what about the priests, bishops and cardinals (including a few inside the Vatican) who actually suppress the Traditional Latin Mass? There are FAR MORE prelates trying to hinder the Traditional Latin Mass than vice versa. I doubt that there's a single bishop or cardinal who is actively trying to suppress the Novus Ordo (aka Ordinary Form). So who exactly is guilty of demanding uniformity.

Most TLM attendees don't deny the validity of legitimacy of the Novus Ordo (aka Ordinary Form), but they do believe that the TLM (Extraordinary Form) more fully and completely expresses the Catholic faith. Why deny them the right to that opinion?

Finally, I don't believe that even those who oppose Communion in the Hand as an abuse or a sacrilege or otherwise problematic claim that receiving as such somehow makes one 'not really Catholic' (i.e., effectively invalidates one's baptism).

As a person who regularly attends Mass in the vernacular, I have no objection to those who attend Mass said in Latin.

As a person who regularly receives Holy Communion in the hand, I have no objection to those who receive it on the tongue.
