“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

If your way is better, show me. What mark of holiness has appeared in your life?
[ALL: I sense she is here to pick a fight. FWIW]
MB, think about what has happened in the Church after the introduction of the new Mass, is any of it positive, at all? Maybe you can point to certain areas of Africa and Asia where Catholicism is growing. Otherwise, it’s been a total disaster by any metric: ordinations, Mass attendance, schools, weddings, belief in core doctrines like the Real Presence, the influence of the Church in society, and so on.

It’s always good to hear from one’s superiors.
@MB…..
It’s like me trying to convince my children why frozen Dino nuggets aren’t better than chicken cordon bleu. Yes it’s almost the same, but if you actually try it you’ll love it.
The Latin Mass has helped me in my spiritual journey become more deeply in love with Christ. Every rubric in the Holy Mass is important…. Because God finds me important, and every single person His son died for important. I’m not insignificant, nor are the details of what makes the TLM different than the Novus Ordo.. If you love Jesus Christ, you’ll love the TLM.
