As a priest who has been offering the Holy Latin Mass for 7 years now, I am absolutely against the “Dialogue Latin Mass” for the Low Latin Mass.
Again, because of the false understanding of the idea of “Active Participation” of the laity, we do not need to be answering out loud to be praying. Active Participation is an interior participation of placing our hearts, minds and bodies at the disposition of adoring God. This does not need to be vocal.
In the Missa Cantata or High Mass, the choir sings the introit, the graduale, the antiphons, and some of the responses. This is different, because it is sung in harmony with the loftiness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Ask any priest who really loves God and does not want to be a show off, which Holy Mass is better, dialogue or silent Mass. I would assume that the silent Latin Mass, with only the Altar Boy answering, …More

I've celebrated the Extraordinary Form in a number of parishes. One parish had over 100 in attendance, and everyone said the responses of the server. I actually liked it and found it quite prayerful.
Opinions like the above opened the doors to the liberals, who then moved in with their Community of Man liturgy. We are now stuck with that liturgical garbage.
The good father fails to understand that he is not proposing a public mass but rather a private mass publicly said.More

With all due respect for the reverend Father's opinion; what we need to do with the liturgy is what the Church asks us to do, not 'what we like'. As the priest begins in the article, "... I am absolutely against..."

Read especially under item (31) 'A final method of participation, and the most perfect form, is for the congregation to make the liturgical responses to the prayers of the priest, thus holding a sort of dialogue with him, and reciting aloud the parts which properly belong to them.'
If priests weren't busy following their opinions and foisting them on their congregations, frankly, we would never have gotten in such a mess as clown Mass, liturgical dance Mass, bring-a-dog-to-church Mass, etc.
Thank you for offering the extraordinary form of the Holy Mass Fr. Carota.
