"I am of the opinion, to be sure, that the old rite should be granted much more generously to all those who desire it. It's impossible to see what could be dangerous or unacceptable about that. A community is calling its very being into question when it suddenly declares that what until now was its holiest and highest possession is strictly forbidden and when it makes the longing for it seem downright indecent." (Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger, in his book "Salt of the Earth").
I for one would like to see the Latin Mass return to this diocese. There are so many youth today wo are attracted to this Mass. Every time I attend a Latin Mass in Massachusetts, I am almost overwhelmed by the number of young families with children and teenagers who really seem to appreciate the Mass.
