This video from Taylor Marshall confirms many of my suspicions regarding the way that too many prelates have treated the Traditional Latin Mass. Incidentally, I've always held the Second Eucharistic Prayer in less than high regard. I've always known that many priests - particularly older and/or liberal priests - use it because of its hurried brevity. Younger priests are more apt to choose one of the others, including the first Eucharistic prayer, which is the traditional Roman canon.
During this year-long pandemic, I've not had to miss one Mass. However, had it not been for the priests offering the Traditional Latin Mass, I would have been deprived of the Mass. For obvious reasons I cannot go into that detail on this blog. Suffice it to say that it has only been the priests committed to the Traditional Mass that understood the importance of providing that Sacrament to the faithful Catholics.
I have only heard the Roman Canon used once in the last 3 years, the S3cond being exclusively preferred.Brevity is always given as the reason.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask where this happens?
DeleteSame thing at my novus ordo parish in Woodstock. Every now and then we get #3, but never the Roman Canon. Fortunately we go to an SSPX mission church on Sundays and always hear the Roman Canon. If anything is likely to save the Church from the current faith wrechers in the hierarchy, it is the clergy who celebrate the TLM and the laity who attend. At our tiny mission we have many children and many expectant mothers. It warms this grandma's heart to see them!
