From the United States of America


A young man who lives in the USA, and who does a lot to promote the Latin Mass over there, has released the following statement:

This is big news.  There is a diocese in the USA that has come to the realisation that adherence to the practice of attending Mass in its traditional Latin form is likely to grow, whilst attendance at Novus Ordo Masses is expected to continue to decline.  It seems that in this diocese at least, interest in the Latin Mass is expected to grow at such a rate that it will be necessary to devote additional resources to "educating, supporting and promoting traditional liturgy".

Presumably, this diocese is thinking of training at least some of its clergy to celebrate the Latin Mass, and of designating some churches as Latin Mass centres.  I wonder whether this will include some undoing of earlier reordering of sanctuaries.

It sounds like very good news to me.
