In my previous post I speculated on a Plan B if the unthinkable happened and the Latin Mass was banned.
It was a speculation.
I hope that it will never happen and, yes, I do know that it 'cannot' be banned but, sometimes life throws a googly at you and the impossible becomes possible.
I would like to thank those who commented and to post here, a comment made by a young Catholic woman named Hannah.
If there is anything to make me feel on top of the world (apart from two pints of Rev James), it is to see the witness of young Catholics.
Here is Hannah's comment, I hope she will forgive me for bringing it to the fore:-
"The Traditional Latin Mass cannot be banned and thank God for that.
I would be completely heartbroken if that happened. The banning of the Latin Mass would be the cherry on the top of this Chastisement the Church is undergoing.
The Church is under the judgement of God.
I pray that it will come to end.......soon.
To those who cannot attend a reverent Liturgy, have hope.
The Church will return to her former glory. You may think I'm crazy for saying that, but it's true.
Our Lady triumphs in the end. We must continue to hope and pray.
And, especially, give God due worship at the Holy Sacrifice.
I feel so close to God at the Latin Mass. I really can't describe it.
The Latin Mass is indescribable. I feel sorry for those who hate it.
Only the worst enemies of Holy Mother Church could hate it, could hate tradition and our heritage.
If you haven't been, GO! GO GO GO! You will never regret. It's amazing to sit there in silence before Mass without having to listen to the yakking before and after Mass.
It's amazing not to have to watch people treat God like a cracker aka Communion in the hand.
It's amazing not to see armies of lay people handle God ahd the sacred vessels.
It's amazing to be able to kneel to receive the Holy Eucharist on the tongue at the altar rail. And so on and so on.
Most of all, it's amazing to be able to lift your mind and heart to God in a Mass where you KNOW Heaven meets Earth."
Thank you Hannah.
