I am just curious about something. How many people here attend the Traditional Latin Mass. A follow up question would be how many people have heard of the Traditional Latin Mass?

I attend a latin mass/ a byzantie divine liturgy (melkite) every sunday.

I've heard of it, and want to go to one someday.

I wish I could go. There isn't one in my area.

I've been a few times. I love it. I wish I could go more often.

Never had the honor of attending. I will have to do some mad research to find one around here.

Of course I am assuming you are in the US.........But.........

Maybe this will help. It claims to not list any SSPX or other schismatic parishes. I can only vouch for the one listed here in Memphis and say they do not list the SSPX church here in town. Hope this helps....

i attended one once though i wasnt expecting it, it was a 1 mass a week parish and i missed the msg that it would be the latin mass that week, boy was i surprised since i was too young to know the latin parts...

Though you were too young, any special parts that still hit you once in a while worth sharing?

I attend one every once in awhile at my old parish downtown if I'm going to be out-and-about in the city on Sunday.

make sure all the ladies have a veil or scarf or hat. my mom forgot hers one time and a lady rushed and gave her one before we sat down and got any looks. Also make sure you follow the missal to the sound of the bells because the Tridentine Rite sits, signs(makes sign of the cross), and stands at different times and a lot more times than the Novus Ordo. When I haven't been in awhile I always get really lost.

the back of my missal says all the standing/kneeling/sitting for high/low mass

dumb question of a kid brought up post-Vatican II, how do you tell the difference between a High and Low Mass? :ph34r:

Also speaking as a child of VII and I think I'm remembering this correctly... in the Tridentine Rite I think 8 candles are supposed to be lit for a HighMass and only 4 for a LowMass. The HighMass is the bigshabang w/ Liturgy of the Word and Homily and Liturgy of the Eucharist and the rites of prayers in between, like a Novus Ordo HighMass. The LowMass is no chanting and it's really short w/ maybe one reading and then the Eucharist, it would be said in the morning probably, or for a small group. I think there is also a LowMass for the Novus Ordo?

Some parishes celebrate the Tridentine Rite differently; I've been to one that celebrated it but the priest faced the people and spoke through a microphone. The other was with the priest facing the altar and I could barely hear what he was saying because the Latin rolls off so fast.

I always think it's really amesome that this is how all the famous saints and our Catholic families attended mass and worshiped years ago. It's also cool to think that this is what loyal Catholics were defending and martyred for during the Reformation and different heresies and struggles. I hope you all are moved by it.

Lol this post is making me feel really guilty because the previous times I have gone have sort of been because of convinence :unsure:
