Dear Signorinella,

First, the Latin Mass was not changed. It has never been changed. Pope St. Paul VI [Wikipedia], who faithful Catholics believe, was a true Pope, created another Mass.

He is the Pope, and on issues of Faith and Morals, he had the right to do that.

Now, if you want to voice the opinion that the Novus Ordo Mass is not as reverent as the Tridentine Mass, that's your personal opinion and opinions on this will vary, from person to person, based on:

• the generation you were brought up in, and
• each individual's (faith journey and faith development).

I have been to several Tridentine Masses and I, personally, think they are more devout since the priest is exclusively facing Our Lord in the Eucharist, however, my friends may disagree with me on this issue. That said, I attend a Novus Ordo Mass 98% of the time.

The important thing is that practicing Catholics believe, when it comes to the Roman Catholic Liturgy, that the Church breathes with two lungs, one, the Tridentine, one, the Novus Ordo. Both are valid when said correctly by a validly ordained priest. We must also remember that any priest that celebrates the Tridentine Mass must also believe in the validity of the Novus Ordo Mass.

On the issue of Popes and the papacy: Remember, the Lord can speak Truth to his people in the Church through sinful men; the Pope is not impeccable. infallibility is a negative safeguard. It does not always mean the Pope will say or do the holiest thing. It protects him against doing or saying anything that would make the Teachings of the faith impure.

You claim Pope St. Paul VI was a Freemason and modernist. This claim is moot since Pope Alexander VI, had three or more wives!! Sin then, sin now.

RE: This New World order

Surprise: I believe in the New World order too! and I'm for it!

• Have I gone crazy?

No. If mankind keeps sinning and sinning and sinning, we will get the demonic New World order headed by Satan.

• Why?

Because our sins have asked for it! — Obviously, I'm against that order.

If we grow in holiness and wisdom, and perpetually live a sacramental and prayerful life, I believe the New World Order will be nothing short of everyone freely choosing Christ as the Head, and freely choosing the Catholic Church, the only Church He founded, as their spouse. It will be New, because at the Resurrection we will have glorified bodies.

You see, I believe in the New World order too!

I'm for Jesus as the Head and the Catholic Church as His Divine Spouse.

I hope this makes sense.
