Praise God

NO have always implied that people are just too stupid to "understand" the Latin Mass. Lay people should be insulted. My father had a 4th grade education (dropped out to work for the family) but knew what every word in the Tridentine Mass means ... even if he couldn't conjugate a verb.

It's easier to remember things in musical form.

Beautiful! I would love to meet her in the flesh. Maybe one day (sigh).

That really is beautiful!

We were having conversations with the local NO priest, a youngish Indian who knows very little except how to repeat rules and slogans. (No Aussie aspirants) He refused any literature we offered him.
"In the old days the people could not understand the Latin, now the young ones understand and they love going to Mass." Of course. the answer to that was "then why aren't they going?" He is "doing up the church (major work and expense) for the future generations. What future generation?
The only Latin Mass in our diocese is once a month, offered in disobedience to the bishop and hidden, by the Anglican rite ordinariate. I made the mistake of going once (in our former diocese). They prayed for the queen during the Mass.
This dear lady may even still attend a TLM, (this was posted by a priest) but she obviously loves it. She believes every word she sings, I am sure.

Though off-topic, just want to mention that I recently noticed that my Baronius Press missal for the TLM, published in London and sold by the FSSP here in the U.S., has a prayer for Queen Elizabeth among its prayers to be said for after-mass. It says for "England and Wales only, after solemn Mass on Sunday." Though it does seem to be asking for her conversion in the prayer, though not directly. It's rather odd, but maybe that's something that English Catholics traditionally have done.
So nice to see the elderly in Africa who knows the Latin prayer by heart. It shows how unifying the TLM is, or maybe was, in her case. I hope she still attends the TLM.
