[@orangemanbad]

During episode 1 my wife and I had never been to a TLM. After episode 1 we went to a local FSSP parish. Which turned out to be an incredibly beautiful church and mass. Now in episode 3 we are regular attendees to the TLM through FSSP and I can say when we make the occasional Sunday to the novus ordo it doesn’t feel the same. The reverence is gone, the people aren’t taking it as seriously and it does impact the way you receive the Host. The TLM truly is a great treasure and it’s no wonder why it lasted through the ages. For me personally, it is a special time out of my week where it’s not about me. Not about entertainment. Not about modernity. It’s truly a moment in time to worship our God.

Can you pray for my husband to someday be open to attending the LM? We have been Protestants all our lives and by the grace of God, he’s wanted to join me at Mass, which thankfully is a reverent NO. The priest really tries to celebrate in a reverent way which I’m grateful for but I still long to go to the LM. My husband is afraid of going because the Latin part intimidates him and I’ve told him there’s nothing to fear because we can follow along in the missals. It is a very big step for him since we had been going to a baptist church. I feel what you’re saying though. The lack of reverence from some of the people greatly saddens me and I think that’s why he’s having a tough time believing in the real presence. It does effect our beliefs in how we all collectively worship and present ourselves the the Lord

[@marccrotty8447]

@@Liliesofthefield-h3t Such a blessing that you have joined the Catholic Faith. It is a big difficult step to leave a "Bible believing" church for Rome and the Latin Mass. In good conscience I no longer attend the Novus Ordo (or rarely) but know many folks that attend both. Keep this as an option with your husband. It takes about six months of regular attendance at TLM (Low and High Mass) to become fully "acclimated." Perhaps he would agree to attend once a month? Start slowly. Wishing you well.

[@IsabellaKathryn]

I’m a fourteen year old catechumen in the church (to be received this Easter vigil). My parents are atheist (keep that in mind) and when I was looking for a denomination/church the TLM is what led me to Catholicism. Where I used to live (Southern California) we had a Latin mass within 20 minutes of our house that our neighbors would take me to. Now sadly I live in a small town (northern Arizona) that only has 3 Catholic Churches that are all Novus Ordo. I don’t hate the novus Ordo but I love the TLM and the closest TLM is 45 minutes but I’m 14 so I can’t drive. I hope we get more near my house, but I finish my conversion soon which is exciting! Please pray for me and pray that my parents come to the faith 🙏 I hope one day more TLM churches are built and we are able to celebrate the Mass in, I truly believe the TLM will bring more people to the church and I hope the Pope realizes how crucial the Tridentine Mass is.

[@jeffbrewster7475]

Even as a non-SSPX Catholic, it appears increasingly evident to me that God placed the very courageous Archbishop Lefebrve at the right time in the right place in history to preserve the Mass of the Ages. Like St. Athanasius, he manfully endured the wrath of an obstinate hierarchy. Anyone who cherishes the authentic Latin Mass owes him a great debt of gratitude.

[@mateuszmachula6707]

Your statement is not factual. If the hierarchy was so set againt the 1962 missal why would Pope St. John Paul II initiate the FSSP. Lafebvre was disobediant and wanted things his way as Pope St. Paul VI stated in his letter to Lefebrve.

[@jeffbrewster7475]

Yes, facts can be pesky things. You will not convince any serious observer of the TLM over the last six decades that JP2 and crew were actively laying the foundation for Latin Mass alternatives to the SSPX before Abp Lefebrve felt compelled to consecrate bishops. The formation of the FSSP, as wonderful as it is, was a purely reactive measure to the SSPX. JP2, as "great" as he was, was no strong advocate of traditional worship. Bottom line - no SSPX, no FSSP, ICKSP, etc. FSSP was promised its own bishop by Rome...something it reneged on.

[@mateuszmachula6707]

St JPII created an alternative SSPX when they excomunicated themselves with their actions. The Church has always been cheritable to B.L even when he was disobediant, and over stepped, and when he was rude and called the heirarchy "antichrists'. The FSSP was formed by B.L best pupiles, who lead his advisory commition and told him he was leading them to schism. The reaction was to disobediance, to schism, to acts the Church calls "criminal and sacriligious"; how can they be praiseworthy as well??

[@thomasneal800]

@@mateuszmachula6707 I would recommend you read Msgr. Lefebvre's own writings from that time, and also Michael Davies's "Apologia pro Marcel Lefebvre," which explain the archbishop's mindset and the chronology of events much better than anyone can in a comment on social media. Msgr. Lefebvre did not want to proceed with the consecrations without Rome's permission, but he felt compelled to. Rome knew he was dying, and both he and they knew that his death would cut off the life support of the entire traditional movement. I'm sorry, but there is simply no way JPII would have founded the 'Ecclesia Dei' communities had Msgr. Lefebvre given up the fight. Every single person who celebrates or assists at the TLM owes Msgr. Lefebvre an enormous debt of gratitude for heroically defending the faith in the most difficult and trying of circumstances. Santo subito!

I told her that if the Norvus Ordo was a pork chop that you put on the grill and it's ready in a few minutes, High Mass in the Gregorian Rite was a whole turkey that you melt and marinate for a whole day before consuming. To summarize what she thought about the experience, my pastor cooks a delicious turkey.

The Tridentine Mass brought me back to my faith. I witnessed irreverent masses while I served in the military, it destroyed what I had left in my heart to fulfill my obligations, my pride and ignorance led me away from Christ into a life of sin. The FSSP parish I have here has been amazing for me. I have no personal issue with the Novus Ordo. I was an alter server for a Novus Ordo parish while it was run by amazing Franciscan priests...the best priests you could ever meet. They were always fantastic to serve under. I was not catechized very well, but much of that is to blame on my own faults while I was young. I learned next to nothing about the faith, I couldn't even get through a Rosary. Now I am praying the Rosary in Latin, and I am learning more about the Church than I ever have before. I have made friends with Byzantine Catholics and have learned the Eastern Chotki/Prayer Rope. The fullness of the faith is in the Catholic Church, with so much history and tradition in all of its canons.

[@ck337]

The very beginning broke me. Seeing all those beautiful Churches so disrespected like that. A skate ramp are you kidding me ?!? 😮😢 It brought to mind the words of Our Lord “This house is a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves.” 😢 Those grandmothers were so sweet to make that walk to Rome! They put me to shame. Their determination, faith, strength ! They walked for all of us and I truly thank them from the bottom of my heart. The grandmother who got choked up talking about leaving everything behind for 2 months had every right to feel emotional ! She had me in tears too. What strength and love she showed and how much they gave up for the Mass of the Ages. May God reward them!

I am from the South East Asia, the Singapore. I left the church in 2003. Found the TLM in late 2015 through an online petition for TLM through a mutual friend in facebook. Tried attending the TLM. Initially i am repulsed by it, by as i grew to know more about the latin mass and why it is structured and organise in a particular way and with the gregorian chant. I cant unsee the beauty of it!!! Luckily i have an archbishop who is welcoming of the latin mass and i still can have it every sunday. God bless my Archbishop William Cardinal Goh! God bless the Archdiocese of Singapore!

Soy un católico de Ciudad de México el cual llego a la FSSPX. Puedo decir qué hay miles de testimonios contando el mío dentro de la FSSPX que muestran lo impresionante que fue Monseñor Lefebvre y su lucha contra el modernismo. Pienso que le sería de provecho a mucha gente el ver el verdadero testimonio de la FSSPX. Nosotros rezamos y amamos a nuestro Papa Francisco y siempre estaremos en comunión con el Santo Padre. Le sería de provecho a este canal el colaborar con la FSSPX, un pilar sin duda importante en la preservación tradición católica.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Mass of the Ages team, another brilliant and very moving film. Second time watching it and I choked up. 10 months since my diocesan TLM was suppressed in Glasgow, Scotland. We have another diocesan TLM but in an area not easy to get to but we also have the SSPX. As Patrick Madrid said in the film, we're in it for the long run. My dear Fred Stone (former Una Voce Scotland chairman) who returned to Our Lord last October, would have loved to have seen the finale of the trilogy. He loved the first two but he would have been so pleased about this one. God bless you all and let us all pray for those who have yet to discover the liturgical beauty and majesty of the TLM. 🙏

My introduction to the Latin mass was at Saint Andrew’s in Glasgow. I was there visiting my son who was a student at the university of Glasgow and I randomly walked into the Latin mass. I loved it!

[@RPBolfork]

I'm from Mexico. When I first saw Mass of the Ages I thought it would be another Euroamerican-centered thing. I kept watching because, well, I'm interested in keeping the Mass of the ages alive. I'm glad to see they got even a tiny portion of Latin America (my country, and my state only) and Africa into this. Sure, most is centered around the US and Europe and that's mostly where the Mass of the ages lives, and while this documentary reflects the fact Latin America and Africa face the most strict restrictions against the same Mass "as always" (de siempre), it does so indirectly and briefly. Sadly our dioceses continue to be the most liberal, our bishops the most ruthless persecutors of the Latin Mass but we're also the countries with the most seminarians. My diocese roughly has 1 M people and we have like 220 seminarians and 400 ordained priests. Many of those young men will never know what the Mass of the Ages is and will actively be sheltered from it by bishops. My brother in law was a seminarian for 1 year and he didn't even know what a Latin Mass is. I went to the Covadonga pilgrimage in 2022 and I was amazed to see diocesan priests who celebrate Latin Mass. No such thing here, not even in our wildest dreams. So yeah, kinda glad they included the "3rd world" in this even if briefly, I know producers may have focused on areas in which it is allowed because focusing on those that aren't would probably be too confrontational. After all, this is the part of the world that His Holiness comes from. I found it amazing how they didn't go to Argentina to see how his diocese is and how things are and were.

[@RSmith00-qv1by]

I’ve been to many Latin Masses, and my boyfriend has just been introduced to them pretty recently. My boyfriend and I watched this together, and, after we finished it, he said we might have to look into switching to the Latin Mass (we go to a church with a reverent Novus Ordo). This series is allowing so many to see the beauty of the Latin Mass, Deo Gratias 🙏🏻

If they despise the shepherds of the Church and even the Pope, if they attempt all means of evading their authority in order to elude their directives and judgments…, then about which Church do these men mean to speak?

Born in 65. I loved God. At St. Henry's preparitory seminary (high school) I was corrected over and over by the priests until I understood that the bible was just a story. (We won't talk about the abuses.) At St. Louis Univ, I was corrected by the priests and professors until I understood that Jesus was just a man. I barely had a relationship with God, though He did keep me from harm over and over. I nearly died from a spetic infection when I was 45, and heading into emergency surgery, my guardian angel reminded me of the Hail Mary and I said it over and over during the months it took to recover. At 55, a protestant wanted to go to a Catholic Church, so I returned...and started to relearn what was taken from me. Currently, I attend a small TLM and go to a very old retired priest for confession. It is only through grace I have a small chance at salvation; despite the church, not because of it. The problems in the church run deep and the NO Roman Rite is just a symptom.
