22 Reasons For Priests and Bishops to Offer the Traditional Catholic Latin Mass
by Fr. Peter Carota
I have said it many times, and I am going to say it over and over again: There are only two reason to be a traditional Catholic. To save our souls and as many others as possible and because it treats God as God. So when we are ostracized from our family, our parish and from our church, it is because, like Jesus, we are willing to suffer to save souls and bow down before the Our Loving God in adoration.
So when people ask me why I would offer the Latin Mass I patiently and lovingly I explain to them the great beauty of the Latin Mass.
I start by telling them that for 7 years I offered the English, Spanish and Latin Mass side by side. That is why I offer the Latin Mass. Here is a list of the reasons I offer the Latin Mass.
The rubrics demand that:
1) The priest genuflect every time he approaches the altar, removes the pall, replaces the pall, opens the tabernacle and opens the ciboria.
2) The priest faces God in prayer.
3) The holy Mass is begun by priest and people recognizing that we are sinners and asking for God’s mercy with the confiteor serious words and is said kneeling.
4) The priest says the canon of the Holy Mass in Vox Secreta (very low voice).
5) After the consecration of the Body of Christ, the priest genuflects, raises the Host and then places it on the altar and genuflects again. The same is done for the consecration of the Blood of Christ.
