Catholic Mass in the News!
I am delighted to see that this is the 2nd most popular story this morning on CNN-Time:

And the Providence Journal went right out and interviewed an [gasp!] orthodox Catholic priest, and wrote a very sympathetic and sensible article:

Some of the comments are bizarre, though - such as schools aren't teaching Latin, so the faithful will be "confused" - kind of odd, considering that my son's secular high school offers Latin, and he's in his second year.... and all the Latin missals I've ever seen have English on one side, Latin on the other....

Anyway - here's a look at a traditional Latin Mass - a "low Mass" - the prayers are a little different - but it's very beautiful.
