Archbishop Sample: All Priests should learn Traditional Latin Mass

[@paopaoaquino5354]

Bishops like him gives hope to the Church. God bless always Archbishop Sample.

[@kevinphillips150]

Considering there are Bishops that do nothing but honor the TLM, I would think a diocesan bishop could learn something.

[@janettedavis6627]

Which Mass was said in the Temple in Jerusalem? Jews celebrated Passover every year Jews worshipped the Messiah in advance. Those Passover Prayers are Perpetual and can't be changed. Don't mind this lot fiddling with words . Millions of Roman Catholics murdered by Nazis and Communists Secret Societies to get the Tridentine Mass out. PaulVI gave into the Communists as the Communists accepted Protestantism. It was an overthrow by change. Get real you lot Popes praying at a six foot wall in Jerusalem What did Jesus Christ say about the Temple in Jerusalem It will be demolished and not one stone would remain. Catholics Babble they are incapable of following.

[@joannemaguuire9664]

When I was a child there was only the Latin Mass. It changed when I was 12. I never lost my love for the Mass in Latin. I have an old missal and I can still read the Latin after all these years.

[@rikimarudonchelie1229]

coming from NO Mass, I'm never going back to it TLM brings me closer to God and I thank God for leading it to me...the solemnity and sanctity of it is beyond words in experience.

Bishop Sample was at first a priest and later a bishop of the diocese of Marquette Michigan it was a great loss for us to lose him to Oregon. I was a pontifical server for Bishop Noa a Bishop of the diocese of Marquette when in high school.

[@joannabuk]

At least one Latin Mass in every church - we Catholics should ask for it and even demand it from our Bishops! Then we have a choice.

[@toddmiller5656]

@Elizabeth Orr Your bishop must be a flaming progressive.

[@chrispalo5122]

The motu proprio of Pope Benedict XVI is still in effect. The bishop no longer has the ultimate say, but it is left to individual priests at parishes to make that decision. Your bishop may not like it, but it is not up to him.

[@gunnarthorsen]

I worked at a church in San Antonio many years ago. One day, when still new on the job, I was looking for brass polish, and found it plus a few rags in a cabinet in a room off the sacristy. Underneath all of this was the altar stone (containing relics of saints), that was taken from the old high altar before it was destroyed. I believe that this sums up the mindset of those who "fear" the Tridentine Mass to a "T".

[@albertroza]

Shocking

[@mottledbrain]

Awful and Shocking indeed. How could it have come to the point where some poor soul(s) didn't even know that they were handling a holy Relic?!? When the church down the road (celebrating the Novus Ordo only) was renovated the priest told the whole congregation about the Relic in the altar. The priest also moved Our Lord back to being front and centre rather than off to the side. Unfortunately things have gone way downhill since then. (More protestant every year.)

[@JosephRyanHinshaw]

We Love You Archbishop King Sample

[@CL-im9lk]

I was raise in the Novus Ordo form of the mass. I go to Latin Mass every now and but I believe that the Latin Mass is needed for the renewal of the Church. It should be more available.

[@noendi7061]

Yaaaa, i agree with him. Because all the modern priest don't know how to celebrate the Latin Traditional Mass. Not only the priest, all modern Catholics People especially youth people must know and go to participate in Latin Traditional Mass in Church. Pope Benedict XVI is agree to all the priest/bishop/archbishop/cardinal who can or want to celebrate the Latin Traditional Mass in the apostolic letter of Summorum Pontificum, so we must to use this Opportunities to know the Latin Traditional Mass. GBU ALL OF YOU and GOD BLESS Archbishop Sample

[@Kralperri]

He is very right! Without understanding the extraordinary form of the Mass it will be very difficult to understand the ordinary form, since the ordinary form is based on that one. The ordinary form is a simplification in some aspects of the older form and therefore we have to understand the very things behind the practices of today that come from the older form. If we see it in this way I belive that the conflict between the uses of the Mass will dissapear. All it comes to in the end is our inner disposition and relation to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The crisis in the Church have forced us to really dig deeper in to the faith to understand it better, which is one good fruit that came from the struggle we are passing through in our times.

[@estebanmoeller]

well said. the conflict hurts me, and many live exacerbating it

[@ladyanne8139]

[@soulscry]

God Bless Archbishop Sample. He is right up there with the great ones in the Church today. I can only suspect those who have an aversion to the traditional mass may be sensing the torment of the ancient enemy. This mass may disturb the conscience. But this is not a bad thing at all. Au contraire! In fact it is the perfect prescription by the Holy Ghost through the church fathers provided for us all, with great care to bring a soul towards sainthood, to KNOW thyself. The traditional mass spoken in Latin offering the sacrifice that Jesus the Christ made for all souls from Adam and Eve to present into perpetuity, is a most powerful exorcism...because it is an eternal memorial that Christ triumphed over Satan by His offering to be the Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world. In the traditional mass, Christ is King in all His majesty.

[@DouglasProject2010]

Is there any traditional Mass in the Orange County CA area? Please and thank you. God bless you.

[@2SPetrvs]

The Traditional Latin Mass is offered at the beautiful Serra Chapel in the Mission San Juan Capistrano every Sunday at 8 AM and additionally there at 6 AM on first Sundays of the month, and also at the Pope John Paull II Center in Yorba Linda, CA every Sunday at 7 AM. There are also other locations and times also in the Orange diocese, you can see all of them here: www.ecclesiadei.org/masses.cfm#California God bless you and your family, may the Blessed Virgin Mary's mantle ever blanket over you in protection.

[@kharma101]

2SPetrvs Why is it soo hard to find a church that celebrates Latin Mass, every church in my town is only Novus ordo

[@2SPetrvs]

There are a few directories you can refer to online to find one in hopefully reasonable proximity to your town. Otherwise, you have a certain duties and rights under Motu proprio Summorum Pontificum when it comes to bringing the Mass of Ages to your home parish. See if you can discuss such a possibility with a group of parishioners and, once you are organized, approach your pastor charitably. w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_ben-xvi_motu-proprio_20070707_summorum-pontificum.html --as well as-- w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/letters/2007/documents/hf_ben-xvi_let_20070707_lettera-vescovi.html

Demographics is destiny and beauty will win out over banality. I believe a century from now, when the baby boomers (clerical and laity) who have reduced the Church to her present poor state, are well on their way to becoming dust, the TLM will have regained its former and proper place. The Novus Ordo will be well on its way to being as forgotten as those who hoisted it upon us. Catholicism will be restored!

Paul D, Pope Francis went to my country (Chile) this past January. After 5-6 days of travelling his words and presence had less impact on faith than one could think of. Unfortunately lukewarm catholic become even more far away from the church. This Pope is more anti-Catholic (traditional catholicism) than many atheist out there.

[@Ryan-ps5xc]

Paul D. Are you lying or just stupid. It would take you a few minutes to research it yourself. There is no point in trying to prove anything to you. You wouldn’t believe it anyway. Just like you wouldn’t believe the dozens of things Pope Francis said. That were against the Catholic catechesis. Things like God made gay people. Divorced and then remarried people are allowed to get communion. Without receiving an annulment from the church. Who am I to judge. Capitalism is bad Americans are greedy. Trump is not a Christian etc. you probably have no idea. That this pope is an angry and vindictive man. Just look at cardinal Raymond Burke. One of the greatest and most holy men of our time. He asked Pope Francis multiple times to clarify a letter regarding marriage. He didn’t so cardinal Raymond Burke made it public. This angry pope then punished Cardinal Burke by demoting him. From one of the highest positions in the Vatican. To the Knights of Malta. This nasty liberal pope. Has been the worst thing that has happened to the Catholic faith since Vatican II. How about next time. You do a bit of research before opening your big mouth.

[@holytrinitycatholicyouthof7543]

I fear the bishops and priests speaking in this way will be "moved" to a less influential location. Like KZbin's algorithm muffling conservative opinions more than others "at random".

[@nancyraboin647]

While the Latin Mass had its own beauty in it time, we as Church have evolved. The theology in the Latin Rite places burdens with an emphasis on sin on the people’s backs. Our liturgies in any of our Churches should be life giving. It is a place where community happens. Prayer and action for the common good is real and heart felt. It is a place where active participation between the people and their God become manifested and icelebrated. The question of bringing back this rite begs a deeper conversation between the hierarchy and the people as to what is the vision for the future of Christianity? Is this ritual really touching the lived reality of the people in the pew? Is the Mass Latin or English speaking deeply to people lived experience? I continue to pray that the Bishops and Leaders might dare to be visionary and empower the people, rather than taking them back to a past time in history. I pray that clergy be creative, visionary and not only listen deeply, but manifest in reality of the people’s lived reality.

[@mottledbrain]

Nancy, try spending a good number of months assisting (not merely "attending") at a Traditional Latin Mass. You experience the Sacred. I usually have to go to a Novus Ordo Mass. There is very little sacred there, even though we are in the very Presence of Our Lord. It is SO sad! The Traditional Latin Mass is truly life giving. The beauty of the music and the language raises one's thoughts to heaven. The silence while the Holy Ghost uses the priest to perform the most extraordinary miracle brings our souls into the mystery of what we are participating in. Active participation is essential in either form of Mass, "active participation" meaning having total focus on what we are experiencing at the foot of the cross. (That's why I use the praise "assisting at Mass" rather than "attending Mass".) Dominus tecum, Reg +JMJ

[@evienelson7202]

I was taught that the Mass was said in Latin because Latin is a dead language and words are never changed, keeping the Holy Mass sacred ✝️

[@John-mi2wj]

Why? How does the Traditional Latin Mass help to build up the Church over Novus Ordo Mass? How does the form of Mass offered bring people closer to God, opening their hearts and drawing them to a deeper union with God? How does Latin Mass in extrodinary form better the Mass over Novus Ordo?

[@mosesking2923]

The reverence of kneeling for communion, Bowing at the name of Jesus, doing a full genuflection at the incarnatus est of the Creed or the final blessing, reverence of Gregorian chant, traditional Church architecture and statues that lift up the spirit, less hand holding and no ad populi that put emphasis on the people rather than God, 3 repetitions of the Dominus Dignus which emphasizes humility, etc. I can go on and on.

[@maxkol4380]

The novus ordo is protestant. Or as one priest I know said: "It's garbage".

[@jacksonrodrigues7533]

There is nothing wrong in novus ordo except that it is largely abused with undesirable non catholic practices

[@allencorrigan1972]

Wow, he nails it; aficionados of the unreformed, anachronistic style of liturgy are seeking comfort and security. Nicely done! Just what the Jesus of the Gospels is calling us to. Bravo!

[@anneessiambre2796]

I started attending LATIN MASS 7 months ago and I was blown away and thought I was in Heaven. I cannot attend the New mass (Novos Ordo) any longer. I did once and sat way in the back on the right side and while saying his Mass the priest turned to see who was sitting there..I was not impressed to say the least. He is supposed to be praying to GOD and not who is in the church. So yes, The LATIN MASS should never have been taken away from Us.

[@janettedavis6627]

All Priests and Bishops should learn where the Mass The Perpetual Sacrifice came from. Ever studied accountancy? God communcated with Jews first not anyone else. Jews had work in progress and had been tg old the Messiah would come and give His life for the sins of the world. In expectation the Jews set up the worship of the death of the Messiah in advance. It was called Passover but Jews guided by the Holy Ghost had true worship but, with Symbolic Paschal Lamb. The entrance to the altar Introibo ad Altare Deo. The Lamb represents Messiah Offatory Prayer and so on. Remember the Jewish Passover Prayers said in the Temple in Jerusalem that Jesus attended with His Apostles on the night He was betrayed are in the Tridentine Mass and are Perpetual and can't be changed. Jesus listened to His Own Death Prayers on Passover every year. Jews had true worship. Why did the Temple fall? Strictly it was the end of time for the Symbolic Paschal Lamb. Jesus became the Paschal Lamb . Romans under the authority of Caesar carried out the crucifixion. We are clearly told in Scripture Imposters, Hirelings, Barrabbas will be preferred (A Subsidiary church) the blind will lead the blind (Pilate was mind blinded. ) You do not listen and I will throw you out. Rome is creating a Counterfeit that suits the Jews but its going to fail. Protestants are not joining King Charles111 has announced he will uphold the Protestant faith.

When I was educated in Catholic school before Vatican11 the Tridentine Latin Mass was Perpetual and couldn't be changed It was Christ's Mass . Now its the TLM and another mass is acceptable. Most of my family taught the same as me left the Catholic Church and never returned. Many left the Catholic Church. I also left and I am more interested in a branch of 7th Day Adventists. Prof Walter Veith. I can't ever return to a Church that taught for 1965 years the Tridentine Latin Mass was Perpetual and couldn't be changed. Now its almost been denied that it was Perpetual and that Popes can create their own gibberish.

[@BuckDanny2314]

While Archbishop Sample is right on the whole, and I thank him for that, I disagree on two issues: - In a way, the EF can be harmful. Not per se of course (as the archbishop said, it is very beautiful and it has nourished the lives of so many saints during four centuries). But because of some of the people who want it. Sometimes, the attachment to the EF is similar to a huge disrespect for the OF, for Vatican II, for the Church. In this way, the EF can in fact be harmful. - If a Council asked for the revision of the 1962 Missal, it is because the Church saw that Missal wasn't perfect. So I think one day will come where we will have a third Roman Missal, incorporating the best of the OF and EF. And we will have peace.

[@garrettquigley8710]

Well said. However the comment about EF not being harmful was primarily Pope Benedict's, and the archbishop was simply reiterating it. Also, there is plenty to read about the contrast between the council's design of the novus ordo and its implementation, from which much confusion and dissent flowed. But we indeed must pray for peace!

[@BuckDanny2314]

True. The Novus Ordo Missae is indeed quite different from what the Council fathers thought, even when celebrated with great care. Nevertheless, they saw everything wasn't perfect in the ancient Roman Missal. Out of more than 2000 Council fathers, all but a few of them signed a document ordering to restore and reform the roman rite. It was indeed reformed, but in such a way that is not in full agreement with the decisions of the Council. As a result, we have a non reformed Mass and a unsufficiently reformed Mass. I hope one day the OF will go back on some reforms while the EF will adopt some good ones (and there are plenty in the OF). You are very right: let us pray for Peace !

[@EvocatusX]

You must be a troll to lie like that. 1. Vatican II did not revise the 1962 missal. The Novus Ordo is an entirely new rite of sacraments created by Annibale Bugnini and 6 protestant ministers in a liturgical consilium in 1969, which is illegal against Session VII, Canon XIII of the Council of Trent and 1500 years of Papal Teaching. 2. The Mass is the #1 prayer of the church. The Mass is the Sacrifice of Jesus on the Altar. Are you saying that the Sacrifice of Jesus is not perfect? You have committed blasphemy. Case closed. You are a blasphemer.

We must try to have liturgy in a pentacost of languages. Itmust be enacted in the languages of the people. We should not harm the process of inculturation and indigenization.

[@ryandavidson675]

Yes, we already have a massive priest shortage, let's add yet another thing to make the process more difficult. While I have enjoyed the few TLM's I've been to, I think mass being more accessible is far more important. Many Catholics can't make it to mass regularly and it largely has to do with how few priests there are. TLM's should be a feature, not a requirement.

You don't think he is influencing things there. Oh ye of little Faith (and patience)!

[@eileensleva2172]

Jesus took bread and handed it to his disciples. He gave them wine to drink and asked them to do it in memory of him. No Latin, no incense, no Gregorian chant - just the language of the people sharing in the simple meal of the time, celebrating Jesus with us then, now and always. Back to basics doesn't include the trappings of the Latin Mass but rather a celebration of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Such a divisive interview.

[@kyrieeleison2793]
