My sources have usually been NLM and WDTPRS, although I visit the latter more often than I do the former. Liturgy and the correct celebration of such (including those that tackle the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite) have been my usual subjects nowadays inspite of this blog’s former intentions of becoming my own hub for Catholic apologetics articles. Nevertheless, I do not mind.

Today I had the chance to check out anew Fr. Z’s blog (WDTPRS of course) and these caught my eye:

USCCB Newsletter from Committee on Divine Worship

and

TLMs are not hard for the young… on the contrary

For the first item, I could not help agreeing with Fr Z and his insights. Nuff said. Why indeed must we be so obtuse as not to comprehend the real issues at hand? Latin is necessary, Latin has been with the Church for years, Gregorian chant is in Latin, one of the most prestigious–and highly reliable–translations of the Bible is in Latin. We should open ourselves into the big picture here. (<< addenda on these remarks shall follow when I get home from the bank today, or after I attend TLM in Alabang tomorrow morning.)

On the other hand, the second citation I pointed above on certain young people not finding a hard time learning the rubrics of the Extraordinary Form is just remarkable... and realistic. There's nothing better than to espouse even a tad bit of mettle here. Nothing is ever difficult if we try.
