I voted ordinary, only because the EF is rarely available to me. There is one priest in my diocese that can say a low mass and only one has been said in my city since he learned.

Dude, Apo said earlier to "vote what you relate to".

Ordinary form

[Veridicus]

I voted EF. Although to be fair, the parish we just joined in Indianapolis has a super orthodox OF Mass so I'm comfortable either way here.

[fides quarens intellectum]

meh. nulled my vote because I can't see a reason for separating ordinary and extraordinary form as though they were two separate religions or something. My apologies - i'm too lazy to read all 8 pages, wherein I am sure there is an explanation.

God Bless!

No one said that they are different religions. Even the different categories I listed for Eastern Christians are not different religions.

Seems FQI is the minority, here.

[ThePenciledOne]

If I can unite [i]in myself [/i]the thought and devotion of Eastern and Western Christendom, the Greek and the Latin Fathers, the Russians with the Spanish mystics, I can prepare in myself the reunion of divided Christians. From that secret and unspoken unity in myself can eventually come a visible and manifest unity of all Christians. If we want to bring together what is divided, we can not do so by imposing one division upon the other or absorbing one division into the other But if we do this, the union is not Christian. It is political, and doomed to further conflict. We must contain all divided worlds in ourselves and transcend them in Christ. -Thomas Merton

Seeing as I don't attend the EF... for the time I relate to the OF. If I move to a location that regularly celebrates the EF I may regularly attend it, but even that isn't a for sure thing.

Sort answer: The two different forms of the Latin Rite of the Holy Mass.

EF = Extraordinary Form, or Traditional Latin Mass.

OF = Ordinary Form, or Novus Ordo.

HEY I just realized there is no option for Islam on this poll... I smell BIGOTRY <img src='http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/madder.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':madder:' />

There is also no option for Karaite Judaism (differentiated from Rabbinic or Messianic), Assyrian Church of the East, Pagan or Wiccan, Satanism, Hinduism, or Buddhism or Confusionism though these are more thought of as philosophy. These all go under Non-Christian religion. Personally, I would combine Rabbinic and Karaite Judaism.

Wow! Considering how suppressed the TLM has been, and how unavailable it still is, the 20% number above is pretty epic. I wonder what percentage of the OF voters have even been to the EF? I was fortunate enough to have an EF hook up many years ago but even then I didn't start to appreciate it until maybe the fourth or fifth time I checked it out. Thankfully someone dropped a little Archbishop Sheen volume on me ([url="http://www.amazon.com/Calvary-Mass-Fulton-J-Sheen/dp/1933871164"]Amazon[/url] | [url="http://www.catholicprimer.org/sheen/sheen_calvary_mass.pdf"]PDF[/url]) and I started to get it. Generations of Roman Catholics have been robbed of so much by the barbarous and scandalous suppression of that holiest and most venerable prayer of the Church.

I have attended 3 times, in three different circumstances (one being a very intimate private mass, one with choir, etc.) I'll certainly go again, given the opportunity, but it's more of a 'novelty' I guess. I attend my home parish ordinarily, and that is the mass I've grown up with.

I have also attended a Russian Orthodox service as well as various Methodist, Lutheran and Nondenominational services as a visitor. And a Jewish wedding, if that counts.
