"So you are taking a stand against Dom Gueranger and Pope PiusXII?"

Yes. The notion that a Pope can bind the church to a specific liturgical device for all history is simply ridiculous. The language of liturgical celebration is NOT a "matter of faith and morals", and can be changed at any time (as it WAS changed MANY times). In the early church ALL masses were "in the vernacular". Why not stick to REAL historic practice instead of the phoney one of "all Latin, all the time"??

[Pyro7480]

The longer historical practice in the Western/Latin Church IS Latin. There were the changes you mentioned, but for most of history, Latin was the language, and the drastic change in the last century was a revolution, not a "restoration."

[AnAmericanMother]

Latin is the key to the vocabulary and structure of the Romance languages and to the structure of all the Teutonic languages, as well as to the technical vocabulary of all the sciences and to the literature of the entire Mediterranean civilization, together with all its historical documents.

"all Latin, all the time" --- is not in the offing, friend.

[nickcarraway]

Where did the notion come from that a new Mass could be created? When in Church history has that ever happened?

The ordinary magisterium of the Church requires the assent of the faithful. It's not just the extraordinary magisterium that binds. If you understood this you would shut up now.
