Why the TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS?  Why NOT the NEW?  62 REASONS WHY ...see Centrefold

THE TRADITIONAL MASS . . .
  2,000 years of venerable usage
Tried and true

The NEW Mass - Fabricated in 1969  - Experimental

THE TRADITIONAL MASS
  Clearly a sacrifice
an altar, a priest

The NEW Mass - Clearly a meal -  a table

THE TRADITIONAL MASS
  Centered on God
Structured for reverence

The NEW Mass - Centered on man - Loose structure invites abuses

THE TRADITIONAL MASS
  Completely Catholic...
One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic

The NEW Mass - Half Protestant - Lacks all Four Marks

THE TRADITIONAL MASS
  Codified at Council of Trent
by a Pope Saint - (Pope St. Pius V)

The NEW Mass - Contrived  - for approval of six Protestant ministers (Reason #18 below)

THE TRADITIONAL MASS
  Fruitful! (Multitudes of saints, martyrs, religious vocations)

The NEW Mass - Barren!
(Empty seminaries, decreased Mass attendance, massive defections)

THE TRADITIONAL MASS!
  Never abrogated by Holy Mother Church!

"...By this Our decree, to be valid IN PERPETUITY, We determine and order that NEVER shall anything be added to, omitted from, or changed in this Missal..."
Pope St. Pius V - QUO PRIMUM - July 19, 1570

The NEW Mass -  An Experiment that Failed

"With the New Liturgy, non-Catholic communities will be able to celebrate the Lord's Supper with the same prayers of the Catholic Church."
Max Thurian - Protestant Minister of Taize

"... nothing in the renewed Mass need really trouble the Evangelical Protestant."
M.G. Siegvalt - Protestant Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Strasbourg

The MASS OF ALL TIME!...Yesterday...Today...Tomorrow

The MASS OF ALL TIME . . . Disapproved by most Bishops - but APPROVED BY ROME!

Sacred Congregation for the Clergy, Rome

To his Eminence Cardinal Oddi:
Jan 11, 1984
"...Could you kindly send my family and myself a letter with the information that you told me on the telephone that we are fulfilling our obligation for Sunday Mass by attending Holy Mass at the chapel of St. Michael the Archangel which is under Archbishop Lefebvre."
Mrs K.
Holbrook, USA

March 17, 1984
Dear Mrs. K.
  I have your letter of Jan 11 th and thank you for it. According to the new Code of Canon Law,  "The obligation of assisting at Mass is satisfied wherever Mass is celebrated in a Catholic rite either on the day of obligation itself or in the evening of the previous day."

  I hope that settles your doubts. In the meantime, I send you and your loved ones my blessing and wish you God's choicest graces.

Faithfully in Christ,
signed Card. Oddi

" The Supreme Pontiff grants to diocesan bishops the faculty of using an indult by which priests and faithful...may celebrate Mass according to the 1962 Edition of the Roman Missal." (The traditional Latin Mass!)
  The Pope...grants this indult as a sign of his concern for all his children."

Excerpt of the 62 Reasons why, in conscience, we cannot attend the New Mass ( also known as Mass of Pope Paul VI, novus ordo, new liturgy) either in the vernacular or the Latin, whether facing the people or facing the tabernacle. Thus for the same reasons, we adhere faithfully to the traditional Mass ( also known as Tridentine Mass, old Latin Mass, Roman Missal, Pian Missal, Missal of St. Pius V, Mass of All Time).
  - Based on the sixty reasons set forth by 25 diocesan priests of the Diocese of Campos, Brazil.

___________________________________________________

#1 Because the New Mass is not an unequivocal Profession of the Catholic Faith (which the traditional Mass is), it is ambiguous and Protestant. Therefore since we pray as we believe, it follows that we cannot pray with the New Mass in Protestant fashion and still believe as Catholics!


#4 
Because the New Mass represents “a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent” which, in fixing the “canons,” provided an “insurmountable barrier to any heresy against the integrity of the Mystery.”*

#5 Because the difference between the two is not simply one of mere detail or just modification of ceremony, but “all that is of perennial value finds only a minor place (in the New Mass), if it subsists at all.”*

#11 Because the New Mass does not manifest Faith in the Real Presence of our Lord -  the Traditional Mass manifests it unmistakably.

#17 Because the New Mass gives us to understand that the people concelebrate with the priest - which is against Catholic theology!

#18 Because six Protestant ministers collaborated in making up the New Mass: George, Jasper, Shepherd, Kunneth, Smith and Thurian.

#26 Because the New Mass was made in accordance with the Protestant definition of the Mass: “The Lord’s Supper or Mass is a sacred synaxis or assembly of the people of God which gathers together under the presidence of the priest to celebrate the memorial of the Lord.” (Par. 7 Intro. to the New Missal, defining the New Mass, 4/6/69)

#43  Because the New Mass, with its ambiguity and permissiveness, exposes us to the wrath of God by facilitating the risk of invalid consecrations: “Will priests of the near future who have not received the traditional formation, and who rely on the Novus Ordo Missae with the intention of ‘doing what the Church does,’ consecrate validly? One may be allowed to doubt it!” *

#46  Because along with the New Mass goes also a new catechism, a new morality, new prayers, new Code of Canon law, new calendar, -  in a word, a NEW CHURCH, a complete revolution from the old. “The liturgical reform ...do not be deceived, this is where the revolution begins.” (Msgr. Dwyer, Archbishop of Birmingham, spokesman of Episcopal Synod)

#49  Because the New Mass attempts to transform the Catholic Church into a new, ecuмenical church embracing all ideologies and all religions - right and wrong, truth and error - a goal long dreamt of by the enemies of the Catholic Church.

#54  Because the Traditional Latin Mass of Pope St. Pius V has never been legally abrogated and therefore remains a true rite of the Roman Catholic Church by which the faithful may fulfill their Sunday obligation.

#60  Because we recognize the Holy Father’s supreme authority in his universal government of Holy Mother Church, but we know that even this authority cannot impose upon us a practice which is so CLEARLY against the Faith: a Mass that is equivocal and favoring heresy and therefore disagreeable to God.
