Lex Orandi Lex Credendi. This series introduced me to the TLM. I cannot believe what I have been missing out on as a cradle Catholic. I even introduced my non-Catholic Father this series and after attending his first TLM, he decided he wants to become Catholic. Deo Gratias.
@@cameronohearn Thank you and your production team for the clear passion and desire to spread the one, true Catholic faith to the world. Your passion for this series really shows. I've watched episodes 1 and 2 countless times and I don't think I will ever get tired of re-watching them. My Father always hated being forced to attend Easter and Christmas N.O. mass with my family twice a year. He complained about having to hold hands, having to greet the people around you, and having to recite the prayers aloud, so he felt left out. After watching these two films, he told me, "It all makes sense. I am so glad I am not the only one with these feelings." Just as I did, my Father left the films with a true, deep desire to seek out the Mass of the Ages. Just as Dr. Taylor Marshall spoke about the Eucharist in his interview, I believe your ability to tell this story, to influence the Catholic and non-Catholic world, and to speak truth, your film is a beautiful and awe-inspiring setting that brings the world to the diamond that is the Tridentine Mass. I cannot thank you enough! Please pray for my Father's discernment in his conversion to Catholicism.
@@erikriza7165 I'm not gonna lie, I can't stand Gregorian chant in sung mass. It's like a game of how long you can drag out the word "eleison." Low mass for me.
@@roshinobi i agree with you, for the most part. i liked some of the Latin Masses that were simple and quick. just had a nice short calm flowing peaceful melody. A lot of the modern stuff they do nowadays, i just cringe, and some of it goes on forever. i do like the idea of Low Mass. We should have kept it. One (High) Mass on Sunday for the people who want to harm their ears, and the rest of the Masses could be Low Masses. I have always said that.
My sixth grade teacher, a Milwaukee Franciscan, told us we were lucky to be living in such exciting times. (Vatican II was under way) Three years later, she was no longer a Nun. Four years later, our school was closed because all the Nuns left. The Catholic High School I attended no longer exists. The Catholic Grade School and High School my Mom attended no longer exist. The Seminary in my Diocese no longer exists. My Diocese has one third of the priests it used to. I could go on. Who, in his right mind, could call this progress, or good health.
It is impossible to call this good fruits. It is diabolical. The only way through is Tradition. It is inevitable. Those who fight it in vain will see their errors when they realize modernism has had the church by the throat for decades. Or perhaps they will never realize this, and may God have mercy on them if so. May God have mercy on us all.
Im in the same diocese and we can thank Weakland for ushering in this destruction. In my town all 10 parish schools were forced to close. One school was branded as the new Catholic school, which is far from Catholic.
@@heatherschweitzer9375 i dont live in Milwaukee. That was just where our Nuns came from. I am in Illinois. I saw your Cathedral once. A real hatchet job. Weakland was a disaster. no doubt.
There needs to be a love button instead of thunbs up I’m incredibly blessed a new friend at a womens retreat brought me into the Latin Mass a little under two years ago. I attend a beautiful church with a wonderful holy priest. It has been a revelation in my spiritual life
As a 27 year old dad of 4, all I can say is that my faith was quite muted before I found the TLM. The TLM introduced me to a way of religious devotion that elevated the volume of the sacred and muted out the world instead. Every aspect of our life has become more devoted and religious for one simple reason, and it's the way we worship the liturgy on Sundays at the TLM. We homeschool now and live much more simply without as many worries and fears about things which are not related directly to the sanctity of our family. Can never ever ever thank God enough for this beautiful gift and the peace it brings to us.
God has led me to the TLM as well, No accident. God bless you and your family. I wish I had found TLM as I was raising my children, They are grown now, but I pray for them.
As a Boomer It gives me hope and comfort to see devoted TWENTY-SOMETHINGS living the faith, and expressing it beautifully. May our Lord and St. Michael protect you from all snares.
@@Kitiwake I see that he has, indeed, compared his life and the life of his family BEFORE and AFTER the Latin Mass. I'm curious, though, where you see him "compete" on that basis. Perhaps I am missing something, it is not like I've never done that before.
As a young priest, after celebrating my first sung High Mass, it came to my heart when I arrived at the sacristy: how all these years of training have deceived me!
I am 59 years and just found the Latin mass three years ago. After 30 years of novus ordo, the difference is like day and night. I never went back to a novus ordo mass again. I travel for work and at times I drive 3 hours just to get to a Latin mass. The Latin mass is simlpy a little peace of heaven here on earth.🙏🙏
Your story is much like ours except for the distance we drive every week (only 2 hours). The benefit to our marriage, family and spiritual lives was so great that we started attending 2-3x/week. That was over 1 1/2 years ago.
Yes, like you we travel 3 hours there and back to assist with mass. We consider it a pilgrimage. There is nothing on the planet that can supercede such peace and honor of our Lord Jesus Christ for what He did for our souls! Nothing.
I had a parish in SW Colorado that celebrated Mass by a joke-telling Deacon for years. Then we were gifted a Polish priest. There's no comparison. Not only are the Polish Catholics far more revenant and traditional, we regained the transubstantiation of the Mass again. I also discovered adoration and the magnificent joy of Holy reconciliation. Our faith is such a beautiful gift. It's just being sabotaged by mediocre managers who seek esteem not redemption. Keep wokeness out of Church and all will rediscover the traditional beauty available to all who attend with humility and devotion.
I’m right with you - Graduated from a Josephite High School across the street from the Passionate Fathers Church - in 1964 - I’m glad to have the Latin Mass here where I retired.
@@huskymom234That's fine for you, but what about the rest of us? Graduated in 1977. Catholic high school closed while I was in the lower grades. In junior high, we learned to play our guitars at Mass, standing in the sanctuary. Same nuns left the convent or radicalized the sisterhood. We were robbed, as children, and then raised our own children in practices that seemingly didn't fully nourish their souls...
@@annaru3814The exact same thing happened to me! Graduated in 1976 and ended up leaving the Church in college. Wandered from faith to faith, church to church, even went to Synagogue, looking for roots. Finally found TLM in 2022. We WERE robbed!
38:44 - Breaks my heart - I’m so glad I discovered the TLM. It now has arrived at my Parish via the ICKSP. Some people whom are greatly opposed and yet some others who have spoken to me saying how happy they are and that they have a sense of being robbed for years from having true beauty in the liturgy. The consilium and bugnini really were root cause for the HUGE drop in vocations, attendances and confusion that still affect the church today.
Pope Francis and Chicago Cdl Blasé Cupich wish to crush all that I’d good, true and beautiful: Eucharistic processions, reverent Masses, etc. and bring in all that is sinful and distracting.
Imagine how much more pain it causes to Our Lord His Sacred Heart and Our Blessed Mother and all of the Angels and Saints in heaven! Seeing all of these people being misled and eventually losing the faith... Jesus! Have mercy on their souls!
Oh dear God let every Catholic Church come back celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass! Let the magnificent Altars that were built to praise you and adore you be used again in every church throughout the world!
My soul was so moved by this video and I learned things at 64 years old that I never knew existed during the Vatican II counsel. Thank you Jesus for redirecting me back to the traditional Latin Mass. May God be with us and help us all.
Greetings from Catholic Poland brothers. I was extremely fortunate to grow up in a strong catholic society. My teachers were Dominican priests, masculine and intelligent. We celebrated the Latin mass often, and received excellent instruction. When I took a job in france, I was stunned at the lack of faith in a supposedly catholic country. I am now more grateful for the childhood I received. Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi. Polonia, Semper Fidelis 🇵🇱🇻🇦
@@monarchblue4280 it now depends on family and education. In the communist period especially (but really for all of polish history) being catholic was seen as necessary to be polish. Now, many poles want to assimilate to EU social leftist values and minimize their faith. This is for financial gain, as the church has been almost a universally positive influence in polish history. Typically, these socially left poles are seen in homes from weak marriages. Overall, Poland is much more faithful than the rest of Europe. A friend of mine who is a priest in Tarnów (most religious diocese, in the south) was deeply concerned that mass attendance dropped under 75% recently. The traditional minded poles have nearly 100% mass attendance, while novus ordo churches are 30-40%. It is sad to see such a rich catholic heritage being threatened by changes to the mass.
France is not Catholic anymore by a long run. And it's mostly because of politicians, government, the press which never miss a chance to crap on the Catholic Church. You wouldn't believe the amount of downright lies we're still taught in History class that stem right from 18th/19th century anticlerical movements. I was super anti-Catholic because of that in my younger years but thank God I'm a History nerd so afterwards I realized so much of what I was fed was absolute hogwash. And everytime some Catholic makes a stupid statement, or a good statement but said in a way that can be misinterpreted, you can be sure the press will amp it up by 10.
Wszystkim,którzy przyczynili się do powstania tego filmu moje z serca płynące podziękowania.W Waszej intencji moja modlitwa 🙏I niech Pan Bóg błogosławi!...Udostępniam, bo takie dzieło niech idzie na cały świat!❤
@@annestrada1724 they may as well be. They were schismatic for decades, and even now they’re “canonically irregular.” The fact that anyone would attend a Mass said illicitly is mind-boggling. It takes some nerve to call oneself “traditional” while willfully acting in disobedience to the Church.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be Adored, Loved, and Praised at every moment in grateful affection at every moment in all the tabernacles of the world even to the end of time. Amen.
The Traditional Latin Mass has changed me. I feel at 42 I’ve left my spiritual adolescence,stepping closer to Christ b/c I want more of him. There is something so beautiful about 6:30am Latin Mass. I look forward to waking up each morning and going to Mass to celebrate our Lord.
Never saw this before. Never knew of Vatican 2. And yes, I was a depressed and highly confused Christian about life... Trying to raise 4 children. Failing at everything. Went to a Latin mass, I was told it was like it was before. I felt the holy spirit calling me. And we only will go to Latin mass, lead by father Morrie.
After months of speaking to my girlfriend and trying to her to understand why I go to the Latin Mass, she finally understood with this documentary. Thank you very much for the brillant work.
I was never really into the faith, but now since I’ve been watching this trilogy I’ve truly had a change in heart about the mass and the Church as a whole. Thank you MOTA.
Siriflower: You were probably "never into the faith" because of the watered-down garbage and just plain sacrilege that came out of the Vatican at that time. And that's not your fault. Now we know the damage that it's done. I think that was the plan to begin with.
@@BitsyBee Well, the people who made this film and the people featured in it do not want peace. They have been waging liturgical war for decades. Traditionis Custodes is their fault. They decided to be so obnoxious, the Pope had to do something.
@@BitsyBee TLMs we’re of the attitude of “live and let live”, just of the opinion that Novus Ordo could be more reverent in the reception of Communion-worthily-while kneeling and on the tongue from an ordained clergyman, eliminate the passing of peace✌️, a remnant of the hippy movement of the 60s when NO originated. Knell at the Credo. Return bells and smells (reverence show to the Consecration). Genuflecting rather than “head bobbing. Mass as unbloody sacrifice re-presented, not a community meal; priest as penitential person leading us in prayer; not a community meal with priest as emcee w/the focus on him?
I converted to the Catholic faith when I was 19 in college and have been Catholic for a few years now. I always thought it was just me who felt so incredibly hurt for having the normative form of Catholic worship for 1500 years taken from my generation without any apparent regard for what it would do to us. I don't even have any particular attachment to the Latin language per se, just the ritual excellence and reverence of the Tridentine liturgy. How could it be that the Popes subsequent to the council were clearly unsatisfied with the novel introductions to the Mass and did nothing about it? Modern men and intellegista were allowed to illegally dump pollutants into the great river of our tradition saying, "This is liquid like the water, so it is the same thing." Yet I am the one treated like a foreign growth subverting the Church and the authority of His Holiness, Pope Francis, for being a traditionalist. I feel like I have converted to a religion that does not want me to be a member of the Church of Christ that has forgotten who she is among the world religions-the only institution of truth in the world. I have been gaslit by the modern men in our age to think that I have fallen in love with the wrong thing. As soon as I graduate, I am finding a job in an area with access to a Latin Mass community.
That's exactly how I felt as a teenager in the late 1980s. The only option at the time was the Society of Saint Pius X, and that was problematic at the time. Luckily, you still have more opportunities, despite Custodes.
@@bigbeddie Thank you for taking the time to reply and share. You're right, thankfully the Archbishop of my area is more or less friendly to the FSSP parishes in my area.
The PROBLEM is that some misguided people in the Latin mass community have taken an adversarial, hostile approach to the Vatican AND have also made the mistake of being hostile and adversarial toward the Catholic community as a whole by asserting superiority over folks who are happy with the novus ordo. I really do think you are pointing the finger in the wrong direction. DON'T GET ME WRONG: I happen to think that the new mass is just UGLY, but that does not mean that those who are satisfied with it are enemies of mine or that I am going to get angry about it and build up resentments. Something I appreciated about the Catholic faith is that it used to be that there was "something for everyone" in it. Think of all the various churches that are under its umbrella, for instance, such as the Byzantine Catholic Churches, etc. Likewise with the traditional Latin Mass. It's a beautiful thing to have. It is wonderful to be able to make that choice. But instead of gently welcoming the novus ordo people and inviting them lovingly back to the traditional form, I DO see a lot of hotheads on social media banging big noisy drums of animosity around this topic and behaving in a rude manner. That just has to stop. A very good friend of mine prefers the new mass. Her rationale is that it is preferable because the words are understandable and nobody knows Latin because no one speaks it and hardly anyone studies it any more. I have heard from some people that they feel that the Latin Mass proponents are arrogant or they behave in a superior fashion. I don't think that is true. It sounds very much like an inner insecurity with those people. But I mention it because it pertains to the point I am trying to make, which is, I believe, the same one that Pope Francis recently made, and that is that the TLM community is causing a fracture with some exagerrated hostility. It's the wrong approach. Instead of getting mad and treating it like a political debate, we should be embracing one another in fraternal love and care to get this ship back on course. We should be on our knees pleading for the cause of the TLM, instead of marching in the streets, banging drums, firing canons, and yelling about our grievances.
Bsp. Lefebvre will be recognized as a saint one day. Cdl. Otovani took a lot of abuse from the Modernists who wished to force the New Order Mass on all.
I remember as a teen, my mom and aunt discussing the damage this would cause. They were very disappointed but felt they were at a loss as to what they could do. This document is the best thing to come out, because it puts it all into one viewing and understanding whereas for many years, we have been getting bits and pieces. Something has to be done to salvage the Liturgy before it really is to late! Thankyou and God bless to all who contributed to getting the truth and source out.
Just finished watching this. Have been attending Latin Mass for four months after being away from the church for over 40 years. I was baptized in the old rite but knew nothing but the NO. I attribute it to God’s grace that it just occurred to me to attend the TLM after completely rejecting my faith. I’m praying in thanksgiving and for my fellow Gen Xers who have left. Come back to the true faith. We were sold watered down truths and lies. Hope to see you at Mass🙏
Thank you, how wonderful it is to know that the young have found the True Mass. Now I can die in peace. 83 years and more than 2/3 without the Mass of my ancestors. God Bless all the priests that offer the True sacrifice. They bring abundant graces through these masses and the sacraments. There is no true joy of the heart in this dark world without the Tridentine /Mass of 17 hundred years that filled all Catholics Churches from morning to night. prf
@@mikethemonsta15 The TLM was CODIFIED by Pope St Pius V as a result of the Council of Trent - not remotely the same as being 'created at the Council of Trent'.
@@jaimemorgan5323 if you think by "codified" you mean "well there was no significant changes to what they were doing before". Think again. Because there was a lot of people upset back then on the restrictions of the masses you could celebrate. Trent suppressed other Latin liturgies and many people were upset, even calling this the end of the Church.
When I converted from an Evangelical Christian perspective to Catholicism, my mother (Baptist) said to me that she didn't mind as long as I didn't attend a Latin form of the Mass. I found that an incredibly interesting thing for her to say, but she didn't elaborate. On that day that I was baptised, there was a Nun present at the baptism and she met & was talking with my mother. They seemed to get along quite well, and the Nun later said to me that "Protestants & Catholics are not that different, are they(?)" but she asked me in a questioning way as if she was looking for reassurance. Now, as one who has found the Latin mass & discovered all the teachings that were stripped from the Church after Vatican II, I can say, yes, we are immensely different. The teachings of Evangelical churches and the teachings of the Catholic Church pre vatican II have major differences. And the disapproval/suspicion that my mother showed towards the Latin mass I believe comes from a place of fear of that true divide between Catholics & Protestants becoming more apparent to me (which is not so apparent in Novus Ordus Mass'). While there are certain core beliefs that we share, there are certainly strong differences of which I am becoming painfully aware now that I am in a mixed marriage (approved by the Church before anyone asks...)
Bsp. Anibal Bugnini who designed the New (world) Order Mass, Prefect for Liturgy and Divine Worship in the 60s was a Mason who joined protestant ministers to create the New Mass to consider community over focus on praising, honoring and glorifying God. See Michael Davies book, Liturgical Time Bombs in Vatican II: The Destruction of the Catholic Faith through Changes in Catholic Worship.
This the third time I’ve watched Episode 2, and just like the other two times I’ve cried like a baby all the way through the last 10 minutes. Sacred polyphony is so beautiful and makes me feel so close to God. ❤
@@joeharvey5556 My husband is from Syria where some Christians still worship in Aramaic. There are several ancient liturgies still used around the world, and I don’t think it can be argued that one is superior to another. But I think we can agree that they are all far superior to the Mass of Paul VI.
Maybe gotta read up on this mass. My point is everyone mad about latin mass when its not only one and is not original mass.the apostles dod mass prob in greek and aramaic To divide or say its horrible to delete it is ridiculous. Mass is as holy as you make it. So gods power and love is less in english mass is a illogical. Sorry i just woyld love to reach everyone that listen to ideas that are not seen by both sides. At this point priests who cause rifts now during this period in church are sinning They nerd to focus on other things 100x more serious than litirgy dont u think? If they spent more time in fasting and doctrine we would have a church. To me thos is a mortal sin of spiritual sloth. Sloth in sense of wrong focus. Go save souls Just my two cents lol God bless Pray for me i need alot Thanks
Every time I get to listen to these - I cry. I’ve not been to a TLM since I was in Europe in the 1980’s. The Mass had stopped in my parish at home in 1966. I remember it well my youngest brother was born in November and the Church renovations were completed before Christmas that year before his Christening. I have two pictures in my mind one before and one at the Baptism.
I'm a highschool student and Catholic who's always felt something missing at mass (novus ordo), when I found the Latin mass I could finally feel Christ's presence
I'm 30yo and since finding the TLM I'm obsessed! I'm so in love with the faith now. I've also learned so much, I was actually embarrassed at just how poor my catechesis was, but so grateful now and to have access to this Mass 🙏
Thank you ! The Latin Mass is Absolutely Beautiful, inspirational , transcendent , it makes you want to go to church, and , be a part of it .GOD BLESS YOU !!!
My family have started to attend the TLM recently. I've wanted to go for a long time and my husband agreed. This series was a big deciding factor for us.
Because the Devil hates it. The human element of the Church has been infiltrated by Freemasons and Communists. The Church is mimicking Our Lord and going through its passion. Things will get worse but then it will be the beginning of the restoration, just as it appeared Our Lord died but then he was resurrected. God always wins and the Church will stand despite everything.
Pope Francis detests those things which are sacred or religious-TLM, cloistered and contemplative x religious, hands folded prayerfully. Early in his youth, Bergoglio went to a Shrink to admit how conservatism people repulsed . I don’t believe he sought correction, just consolation.
@@thegreatrestoration6784 He's a Sedevacantist, so nah. What we need right now is people helping the Church, not people leaving it and locking themselves up in a gilded cage like the absolutely safe capsule trope.
I am so thankful that our Bishop is not suppressing the TLM, but is actually encouraging the the growth of our community. We are in large, beautiful parish with an awesome Priest. Our Bishop actually said on his radio show that he sees that the TLM community is in no way divisive.
I grew up knowing only the NO, and sadly broke away to Protestantism for a while. One of the things I respect about the Orthodox, Coptic, and other traditional churches is the preservation of their liturgies. When you attend one of them, there is a profound sense of holiness, and the entire service is centered around the Eucharist. You KNOW it is the Body and Blood. I really hope the Roman Catholic Church comes back to their liturgical heritage. I appreciate films like this that make the presence of the Latin Mass known to a wider audience.
Thank God 4 the "true Mass" I was a member of our Lady of Mt Carmel I'm Littleton, Denver. So blessed to b there. I now have 2 attend Novrus Ordo a reverent one & w/ good priests but what a departure from the Latin Mass We have a young priest who will on occasion offer the Latin Mass Thank u Lord!!
When I was but a wee lad, way back in the mists of time, there was no such thing as the "Traditional Latin Mass," there was only the "Mass." I was in High School while the Robber Council was under way, and I was wholly disenchanted by it. Changes to the Mass started coming out even before the Robber Council closed. It started with the order that the Mass Readings -- Epistle and Gospel -- were to be read by the Priest from the Altar Missal in the Vernacular. I remember seeing one of those updated Missals and thinking "How Distasteful!" Then the Offertory was put in the Vernacular and the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar and the "Leonine Prayers" at the end of Low Mass were done away with. Finally the Canon and even the words of Consecration were also changed to the common language. This was followed by such foo-faw as "Lay Lectors," who somehow turned out to be mostly women. reading the Epistle and leading the "Bidding Prayers." And this was BEFORE the introduction of the Novus Ordo Missae in 1969. At the time I was unaware of any "Resistance" among the clergy. The whole thing prompted me to go off into my "Prodigal Years," of which I will not speak here. Then, in either 1976 or 1977, the late Father Francis Fenton came to a local Holiday Inn near our town and celebrated the TLM and spoke at a Communion Breakfast that followed. I remember that the title of his speech was "The Roman Catholic Church, Its Tragedy and Its Hope." I learned much, but my biggest take-away was knowing that the TLM was still available, though under mostly clandestine circumstances. And HOO-Triumphalist-RAY! I was able to return to the same home that I had so stupidly left!! I went to confession, and have been back with the True Mass and Sacraments ever since. ℣. Benedicámus Dómino! ℟. Deo grátias!
Arthur Devain. Very well said Arthur, I was in Secondary school too when it happened. Guess what? The Tridentine Mass was out in Ireland in 1965 I wouldn't believe so many people just followed blindly.
This is as the Lord has permitted, AD; as a fiery test on our faith. Give thanks to God and His good favour for it .. Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek. God bless. ;o)
Why was the Latin Mass suppressed? When Pope Paul VZi realized that Bsp. Bugnini, who served as Prelate of the Office of Liturgy and Divine Worship, the creator of the Latin Mass was a Mason why did he not re examine what he’d created? Why did he not excommunicate him. Pope Paul transferred him to Iran in charge of 20,000 Catholics. Why did he risk endangering the faith if these people? Rev. Charles Murr sheds much light on the infiltration of Freemasonry into the Church in the book, Murder in the 33rd Degree. Bsp. Eduardo Gagnon did a thorough investigation of the infiltration. Pope John Paul wished to clean it out but died in the process. Pope JPII was either naive or too preoccupied w/his travel plans to remove the Masons which Bsp. Gagnon identified. Sad neglect of duty.
@@johnholmes6667 I do not "Know" that Bugnini was a Mason, but I suspect that the "smart money" would back that wager, and even give you odds! As to Pope Paul being surprised by the very wide gap between what he might have expected and what he got, he was nevertheless quite pleased with the Novus Ordo Missae. I'm sure he, thorough modernist that he was, viewed it as his "Legacy!" He was right in that, since his memory will always carry the shame of having dumped this "excrementum" upon the Church! And.. It was the Bishops, thorough modernists themselves, who acted as if the Novus Ordo gave them permission to forbid the TLM, even though it didn't. So they went ahead and banned its celebration within the world's dioceses. As was eventually acknowledged by Cardinal Ratzinger while he sat upon Peter's Throne using the name Benedict, the TLM was "NEVER" abrogated! It is as valid and licit today as it was in 1573!
I grew up with the Latin Mass in the 50s and 60s. I was enthralled w Latin and felt the Holiness of the rite even as a small child. When the Mass was changed my Spirit revolted even though I was still a child. It has always been in the Church and sanctified millions of souls and saints. Now it is being discarded like an unwanted heirloom. "Don't cast your pearls bfore swine" because they won't appreciate it.
I'm not catholic but I'd love to go to a TLM. I vaguely remember it from my childhood through a friend of the family. It was beautiful. This is beautiful. Even if you can't understand the words, you know this is holy.
the second time i went to a TLM i bought a book, there it is all masses, for everyday, and it is written in latin but with the translation aside, it was pure joy
Rewatching Episodes 1 and 2 on Christmas Eve, 2023. Still moves me to tears. I pray more and more people are moved by this and come to the Faith, through the beauty of the Latin Mass. Thank you again for making this documentary. Looking forward to Episode 3!
Me and my wife had terrible arguments because she is protestant. She attended her first TLM last july, 16, feast of Our Lady of Carmel, by the way in carmelite Church. For the first time in nearly 7 years she considered being baptized catholic. Pray for her and praise be to God.
This was so so good. It does make me angry of how much I’ve been cheated or lead the wrong way against the Catholic Church in a way. But I’m so happy to be learning about the Latin Mass & I’m so happy that it growing. Praise God✝️🙏🏼♥️🕊
I was a cradle Catholic, raised in the Novus Ordo Church. Like many I drifted away from the Church but by the grace of God, rediscovered it and the Traditional Latin Mass. It has changed me completely I finally know what it means to truly love the Lord!
I had started attending Latin Mass a year ago, driving an hour and a half each direction because thats where I encountered God most profoundly and personally. I miss it so much! Attending N.O., to meet obligation and to obtain the blessings of the Eucharist. But God is not as tangibly present to me.
Thank you, Archbishop Lefebvre for your numerous sacrifices and for preserving tradition so that those who continue to accuse you of schism can enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Consider one bishop that still wanted to do things only his own way!! Lefebvre Deserved to be sanctioned and cancelled. I am glad Reconcilliation is happening between TLM and Norvus Ordo Except for those of you who refuse to consider TLM is the Only Way or the hell way. TLM is fine. So is proper Norvus Ordo! "Both / And" at its finest. Nuns who decide they want to write their own rules? Those went by byebye. Thanks be to God!! Do not blame Vatican II though. Blame those church "leaders" who thought it meant everyone needs to save the baby before it even got to the bathwater. Brothers and Sisters in Christ's True Catholic Church, please hear me: It is NOT heaven's plan to have TLM only. Nor to have chants only. Reverent Norvus Ordo, yes. Beach wear and cocktail dancing clothes styles at holy mass? Absolutely not. The devil is laughing his butt off at the division you have created in the holy mass!!! Just as he is laughing at the divided families. Just as he is laughing at the total breakdown in supportive family structures in the culture many of our poorer brothers and sisters live in... those who are controlled so much by government handouts. Whether black, white, brown, olive, red. Wake up Catholics. Join together and support the best in all areas. Quit pointing fingers and hiding behind the Only Way. Instead, follow The Way. Amen.
Archbishop Lefebvre knew what he was doing to preserve the faith. The SSPX is the remnant Church and what will keep the faith. Is it any wonder that more and more people are flocking there.
Thank you for this excellent documentary. I am 58 and a cradle Catholic and I went to 12 years of Catholic school. Although I love my Catholic school heritage and I love going to Mass, I feel a bit cheated since my twin brother and I, the youngest in my family, never had the opportunity to attend the Latin Mass like my parents, older siblings and older relatives. My generation of Catholics really missed out on something special and sacred, the Latin Mass. I'm really looking forward to attending my first Latin Mass! 🙏 ❤️ 😊
In contrast with the vernacular languages, Latin was fixed to the Cross by Pontius Pilate's command, Therefore, by being fixed to the cross Latin became a sacred Language. Fixed to the instrument of salvation. It is more important what God considers sacred than what humans consider comfortable, such as having their local language. It is worth mentioning that many Saints prayed in Latin, for most of them it wasn't their vernacular language, yet they didn't complain. Rather they saw learning to pray in Latin as a sacrifice pleasing to God. The Saints composed prayers in Latin and exorcised demons with Latin prayers. The demons hate Latin because it was on the Cross and because the Saints used them during the Mass, the Breviary and the special Blessings for Sacramentals and Exorcisms which are in Latin. Few priests nowadays use these blessings, and instead, they use generic blessings of less efficacy, often those prayers are not the prayers authorized for the Church, but rather a blessing they made up on the spot, or which do not clearly state the intention to Bless. On the other hand, the Roman Ritual is in Latin and contains approved texts and rubrics. Of course, love, reverence, the state of grace and the sanctity of the people are more important than the language, even then if all things considered they are the same except for the language, Latin would have the advantage over vernacular languages. People who go to Latin Mass, do not have to understand Latin. They carry the readings with the translation on a Missal. And that may include the chants, Propers of the Mass (The readings which change) and the Order of the Mass (The prayers which do not change every day). Even then, the parishes or chapels do publish the readings for the faithful to read beforehand. And the priests, read the translations of the readings before they preach. Latin has pronunciation rules which are accessible and easy to memorize, even 7 old altar boys can do it. Even then, the faithful don't have to say the Mass responses or sing. Generally, Latin prayers are faster to say than in most languages, as because of the declensions and other grammatical rules of Latin, it's generally possible to say more with fewer words. There is a myriad of other reasons I haven't mentioned as to why Latin should be more widely used in the Church.
"Of course, love, reverence, the state of grace and the sanctity of the people are more important than the language, even then if all things considered they are the same except for the language, Latin would have the advantage over vernacular languages." TO quote you from above, this is very important! Why wouldn't people want the gold standard of The Mass (TLM)? OTOH I believe Our Blessed Lord when He talks of the intent of the heart being most important thing of all. Some of the truest holiest priests and people I've met have been at the so-called NO Mass. I think it is wrong of some in the TLM movement to claim sincere heartfelt Catholics in the their NO Masses are somehow doing wrong. Why can't we have a continuum of liturgies? No doubt a source of purest devotion emanates from the Mass of the Ages. Instead of banning Latin Mass we need MORE Latin masses. Every parish. The two can co-exist. It is a progression of treasure on offer to the faithful. Banning Latin Mass is like blocking off the well and only relying on random rain. As you rightly point out there are things more important than the language (order of gravity) and the fans of TLM can miss the message of Christ by claiming the NO is somehow heretical. Have both. Draw connections and parallels and promote the treasure of tradition. Both sides (PF and the TLM) are creating divisiveness. The Church should allow both and disallow heresy from either form. Focus on Christ's message first and foremost.
@@homethatilove4595 I'm trying to do the same. I've learned some of my daily prayers in Latin, but I'm definitely not where I want to be. I was wondering if you (or anyone reading this comment) can kindly recommend a good source to learn Latin? Thanks ahead of time for your kind reply. May God bless you!
@@m.u.g.9526yes, I must suggest: My very experienced Priest told me to get the book,"Treasure and Tradition- the Ultimate Guide to the Latin Mass" by Lisa Bergman. It is an absolutely lovely, hardcover book take it to Mass & use it to guide you 🤍🤍🤍 into the depths of this Gift of our faith.
@@m.u.g.9526 Have you gotten a 1962 Missal ? One company still produces new ones. That is indispensable for daily & COMPLETE for "old" Sunday Masses & prayers, completely bilingually shown.
Thank you for making this beautiful documentary and Thank you to Archbishop Lefebrve and the many other bishops and priests who continued to offer the Traditional Mass.
We have been robbed of the precious blessing of the Latin Holy Mass, it took 59 years to attend my first Latin Mass and I am not going back. God bless the FSSPX for being here to maintain the Tradition alive, with all the sacrifices they have to endure.
I was lapsed for many years, totally apart from the sacraments. I am certain that without discovering the Old Rite, I may not have returned to the Church and her sacraments. The Latin Mass is an invaluable evangelical tool as well. We have something that no one else can offer.
It makes me cry to see what my generation, and the ones after me, were robbed of. Pope Francis is behaving like an abusive father, taking away a Mass that truly lifts the spirit and gives comfort to the soul. If you've never been to a TLM, go while you still can. It's otherworldly in its beauty and reverence.
I converted 5 years ago. I attend my local catholic N.O parish. The priest is great and really tries his best to get people engaged and active. I love the TLM and wish my church adopted it. I can only hope to gain influence from within to reverse course. There are many good people in the N.O who have no idea TLM is even a thing. They just need to be shown.
After solely attending the ancient mass for 20 years I've forgotten how horrible the liturgical life of my youth was. This docu series is brutal. Great job
@@SadieEnword692 Yes, I agree. I noticed the same thing. My thought is they probably wanted to simplify the documentary for newcomers to the TLM in general.
This film reveals what priests really need today, and it's not marriage! Priests and we and the world are starving for REVERENCE: profound, adoring, awed respect (Merriam-Webster definition), placing the soul in the presence of God in its thirst for union with Him, the most basic hunger of the soul which only the Catholic Church can nourish. If souls don't find the reverence they seek at Mass, they will look for it elsewhere, in Freemasonic ritual, Zen Buddhism discipline, occult practices, witchcraft, Final Fantasy, and other ersatzes.
I'm in agreement with your post. Most Catholics know little of the vast storehouse of rich devotional methods and practices because the post Conciliar Church has chosen to busy itself with worldly matters, not supernatural ones. This adopted approach has impacted every facet of Catholicism and has left it depleted, meager and dry. This has prompted many who crave profound meaning, beauty, transcendence and solemnity, to seek it outside the Church.
Along with reverence, the world, and all of us in it, have lost an understanding of innocence, modesty, gracefulness. The worship and primacy of the 'self' constantly glorified, is replacing manners, politeness, dignity and respect of the self and others. Perhaps a society that exhibits reverence could recover these other important and nearly lost virtues.
My goodness how much we've lost. What damage has been done to our church. I grew up the child of a staunchly Catholic father, who was an altar boy in Notre-Dame de Paris. Whenever we went to mass when I was a child (Novus Ordo by that time, in the 90s) he almost seemed to be in physical pain when we were in church. He did not feel the presence of our Lord anymore, he cringed at the liturgical abuses, but by that point (and this was a time few people had access to the internet) all Catholic churches in our wider area seemed to be the same - we certainly tried plenty. I never knew what he meant when he talked about feeling the presence of our Lord, having grown up around some particularly heinous examples of NO abuses, until I went to a Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy. I would love to attend a Tridentine Mass, and experience the beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass that my father loved so dearly. Unfortunately when I finally discovered a church that celebrated one, I was diagnosed with cancer and had to go into isolation due to being immunocompromised, as isolation that ended up lasting over two years when the pandemic hit us just months after my cancer diagnosis. By the time I was no longer quarantined, the one church that celebrated the TLM had stopped doing so after Pope Francis' crackdown on the TLM. The Novus Ordo, in its present form, is an abject failure. I am incredibly saddened by the fact that Pope Francis has undone so much of Benedict XVI's work in restoring the Latin Mass to its rightful place as, at the very least, an option to those who value it. It hurts to see what happened to our church. I can't help but feel sometimes that everyone is welcome in Pope Francis' Catholic Church, except traditional Roman Catholics.
Thank you, so inspirational 💖 I just love the Latin Mass, it puts Our Lord where He should be, on the Altar for all to see, love and adore. I'm a convert and when I came into the church it was like my old protestant church. Then going to the Latin Mass, I had come home. 💞 My Lord and My God. 💞
Thank God it's coming back. Although I already had it downloaded before our benevolent host took it off their space. I'm glad it's making a come back because more people need to see it. I'm anticipating episode 3, would love to know when to expect it
This has been a very uplifting video. Thank you for making it available for us traditional Catholics. May God pour a plethora of blessings upon all those faithful who see and share this video.
The Latin Mass IS NOT GOING AWAY. For a reason It IS The Mass of All Ages;The Trinitarian Mass of the Divine Trinity of God The Father, The Son and Holly Ghost. The remembrance of the Sacred Sacrifice of the Divine Son to the Father God Almighty, to save man from sin opening the doors of The New Jerusalem to Eternal Life with The Creator. NO ONE is taking away this TREASURE given to us by God Himself. Thank you so much for this great video. Laudetur Iesus Christus.
I’m stunned but not surprised. Holy Mother Mary brought me back to Catholic Church as a lifelong baptist in 2016. Studied A year in a Seminary in 2016-2017. Reluctantly Took on a hospital job in 2018 and learned to love it thoroughly with the help of our Mother Mary whom has been with me my whole life. I was a cardiovascular research analyst who preferred computational analysis of diseased hearts. Now, working directly with heart patients. It’s a constant joy and tears witnessing the frailty of each human life divided by One breath and One heartbeat. There are a lot of diverse opinions in the Church on how it should be. But I try to just immerse myself in the scriptures and tune out the noises. I think anyone here with a strict Protestant bible drilling life could relate to what I am experiencing. That one year of study in the seminary was very important as my first year as a Catholic. I was one difficult student raising questions of what secular world have that needed to be addressed as we Catholic evangelise. Our Rector Father priest would always smiled and sat next to me during session breaks. His silent grace gave me a lot of encouragement for asking questions. And I loved him for being there during the first year of my Catholic life. God is with us all of the time.
The phrase ‘cognitive dissonance’ is the perfect way to describe the NO. There were so many abuses of the liturgy that gave the overall impression that it was stupid and that it was a waste of time. I didn’t see a reverent mass until in my 30s and I was blown away by what could’ve been possible when I was a child and how much that might’ve changed my decisions. They robbed us. Thank you for making this film. I hope many more watch it and refuse to comply with bishops and clergy who continue to push this fruitless liturgy.
Gen X here. A little older than you but I agree with every word. My life would have been completely different had I not been robbed. I probably would have become a religious. But God did not err in my life. I can’t wait to see His full plan for me.
We were soo robbed of the beautiful true Catholic Mass. My children robbed as a result as well. Shame on them all. This Trilogy should be seen by all Catholics. God save us ✝️😢
Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, indeed. Truly when assisting at The TLM, one KNOWS in his heart that that is the Body, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I was not a regular attendee at the NO, but have not missed a Sunday or Feast day since discovering the richness of The TLM.
Same for me. The NO felt like an obligation I look forward to TLM every Sunday and Holy days. It’s not going anywhere. It’s so beautiful I find myself holding back the tears. Look what they tried to take away from us.
@39 mins time stamp. As they graphics was removing the parts of the Old Mass esp Gregorian chants, i felt so much pain as if someone is removing my heart. Although I am a born in 80s, and I feel so helpless that so much we are missing and I can't do anything about it. Moreover feels sorry for why our priests not feel this.
"You could walk out and not have prayed once". Yes, those words struck me because that's exactly what happened to me. I attended the NO for several years and even sang in a choir, but after a long time, it finally dawned on me that nothing got inside of me and I had not prayed once. I said the words, sang the songs, but nothing got inside. I lost my faith in the N.O. and finally left and didn't miss it. It took a long time but I finally found a Traditional Latin Mass and stayed with that until I retired and moved to southern Missouri where we only had the Traditional Mass once a month on a Wednesday evening. After that priest retired, the bishop did not (or would not ?) replace him with another who would/could celebrate the Traditional Mass. At the present time, I am drifting without a church to attend and I WILL NOT go back to what destroyed my faith in the first place. The modernist Protestantised modernist mass needs to be put in a dumpster and the lid closed.
@@nathaniellathy6559 No, I was taught and continue to believe it is a sacrifice. I was never taught it was a communal meal. The only people I hear calling the Novus Ordo Mass a "communal meal" are TLM people, like you just did.
@@SadieEnword692 Any bishops who deny the Real Presence are in grave error. I don't see what that has to do with the Mass, which I was taught and believe and revere as the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ. So here's the thing, I believe this, and yet I attend a Novus Ordo Mass... so does that mean you're all wrong to assume that the Novus Ordo somehow prevents me from believing in the Real Presence? How do you explain this if it's an absolute that to go to a Novus Ordo Mass automatically makes you doubt the Real Presence? ... I just think this tired old argument isn't logical, and holds Novus Ordo Mass goers in such low esteem that you somehow think we all become stupid of basic Catechesis just because the form of the Mass is different than the Tridentine. It really speaks to the way you see us rather than the way you see the Lord.
It didn't just "go awry." The very few at the top were malicious in their intent. This is undeniable. Read "Infiltration" by Dr. Taylor Marshall, whom you interviewed as part of this documentary.
This is why i get so angry at many Christians of all denominations. These wolves don't even hide they literally plaster it on the back of the dollar bill, name this "novus" mass novus ordo?? If a dummy like me can see these jesuits and free masons for the demons they are anybody can because they don't hide, they even call it hiding it in plain sight. Sort of like when you open the drawer or fridge looking for what you want and it's the last thing you see despite being right where you should have looked right away.
I thought that was such a loaded question ("...what went so awry?") That lady who asked that question would've needed to sit down and get comfortable for the next, oh, 10 hours to get the full answer. Lol.
Wow, born,baptized and confirmed and i never heard of this before. I just looked it up and the only TLM in one hundred miles is a five minute drive! I might just return to the religion of my youth.
I'm not Catholic, but I crave a reverent, truthful Mass. This was a wonderful foray into what my Catholic brothers are going through now. Yes, I've definitely seen a lower median age for more traditional services of my own tradition. I think the explanation is simple: The younger among us are sick of being lied to by secular culture, so we want to live our lives for the long term, somewhere where we will not be lied to: in the reverent worship of the Way, Truth, and Life: Christ.
Actually, the best journalistic investigation was the liturgical trilogy written by the late, great Welshman Michael Davies (it's quoted in this video). I definitely recommend you try it. This is what Cardinal Ratzinger said about the writings of Mr Michael Davies: I have been profoundly touched by the news of the death of Michael Davies. I had the good fortune to meet him several times and I found him as a man of deep faith and ready to embrace suffering. Ever since the Council he put all his energy into the service of the Faith and left us important publications especially about the Sacred Liturgy. Even though he suffered from the Church in many ways in his time, he always truly remained a man of the Church. He knew that the Lord founded His Church on the rock of St Peter and that the Faith can find its fullness and maturity only in union with the successor of St Peter. Therefore we can be confident that the Lord opened wide for him the gates of heaven. We commend his soul to the Lord‘s mercy. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Letter to Mr Julian Chadwick, Chairman, The Latin Mass Society, 9th November 2004.
As a Catholic convert who READ herself into the church and whose only experience of the Holy Mass (before conversion) was beautiful movies, Gregorian chant (which I adore), and a handful of visits to gorgeous Catholic churches, I have to finally admit that the new version of the mass is a HUGE disappointment. I just can't understand WHY...WHY did they ruin the mass and make it so darn UGLY? There is no reverence in it. The language feels like someone dragged a big sack of potatoes into the church and started throwing them at me, one by one. It makes me want to cry. I was a nun in a Hindu convent, living a contemplative life - and I gave it up for the beauty of the Catholic faith and its contemplative tradition. Huge disappointment. I'm shifting over to the Latin mass. It's available in ONE accessible church in my town...a very old, kind of run-down and poor church. I am disabled and mostly home-bound, but I am going to drag myself there..
Thank you for making this very important Catholic series. The treasure that is the Latin Mass. The symbolism that is enshrined within the Latin Mass is sacred and solemn. Pope St Paul VI was lied to every step of the way by Archbishop Bugnini. It is shocking how much damage vatican 2 has caused to the faithful. A Pope is head and leader of the Catholic faith but does not have the right to change Dogma and the Church's Magisterium.
Lex Orandi Lex Credendi. This series introduced me to the TLM. I cannot believe what I have been missing out on as a cradle Catholic. I even introduced my non-Catholic Father this series and after attending his first TLM, he decided he wants to become Catholic. Deo Gratias.
WOW
@@cameronohearn Thank you and your production team for the clear passion and desire to spread the one, true Catholic faith to the world. Your passion for this series really shows. I've watched episodes 1 and 2 countless times and I don't think I will ever get tired of re-watching them.
My Father always hated being forced to attend Easter and Christmas N.O. mass with my family twice a year. He complained about having to hold hands, having to greet the people around you, and having to recite the prayers aloud, so he felt left out. After watching these two films, he told me, "It all makes sense. I am so glad I am not the only one with these feelings." Just as I did, my Father left the films with a true, deep desire to seek out the Mass of the Ages.
Just as Dr. Taylor Marshall spoke about the Eucharist in his interview, I believe your ability to tell this story, to influence the Catholic and non-Catholic world, and to speak truth, your film is a beautiful and awe-inspiring setting that brings the world to the diamond that is the Tridentine Mass. I cannot thank you enough! Please pray for my Father's discernment in his conversion to Catholicism.
PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!
Deo Gratias😀😀!
That is just wonderful
All you needed to tell me is there’s no handshaking in the Traditional Latin Mass, and you’ve won me over.
Peace be with you😂
Amen to that!!!!!
and take about 95% of the songs out of the disposable "hymnals"
@@erikriza7165 I'm not gonna lie, I can't stand Gregorian chant in sung mass. It's like a game of how long you can drag out the word "eleison." Low mass for me.
@@roshinobi i agree with you, for the most part. i liked some of the Latin Masses that were simple and quick. just had a nice short calm flowing peaceful melody. A lot of the modern stuff they do nowadays, i just cringe, and some of it goes on forever. i do like the idea of Low Mass. We should have kept it. One (High) Mass on Sunday for the people who want to harm their ears, and the rest of the Masses could be Low Masses. I have always said that.
My sixth grade teacher, a Milwaukee Franciscan, told us we were lucky to be living in such exciting times. (Vatican II was under way) Three years later, she was no longer a Nun. Four years later, our school was closed because all the Nuns left. The Catholic High School I attended no longer exists. The Catholic Grade School and High School my Mom attended no longer exist. The Seminary in my Diocese no longer exists. My Diocese has one third of the priests it used to. I could go on. Who, in his right mind, could call this progress, or good health.
It is impossible to call this good fruits. It is diabolical. The only way through is Tradition. It is inevitable. Those who fight it in vain will see their errors when they realize modernism has had the church by the throat for decades. Or perhaps they will never realize this, and may God have mercy on them if so. May God have mercy on us all.
No one!
Im in the same diocese and we can thank Weakland for ushering in this destruction. In my town all 10 parish schools were forced to close. One school was branded as the new Catholic school, which is far from Catholic.
@@heatherschweitzer9375 i dont live in Milwaukee. That was just where our Nuns came from. I am in Illinois. I saw your Cathedral once. A real hatchet job. Weakland was a disaster. no doubt.
Wow , that’s so heartbreaking 💔😣😞😔😞 💔
There needs to be a love button instead of thunbs up
I’m incredibly blessed a new friend at a womens retreat brought me into the Latin Mass a little under two years ago. I attend a beautiful church with a wonderful holy priest. It has been a revelation in my spiritual life
As a 27 year old dad of 4, all I can say is that my faith was quite muted before I found the TLM. The TLM introduced me to a way of religious devotion that elevated the volume of the sacred and muted out the world instead. Every aspect of our life has become more devoted and religious for one simple reason, and it's the way we worship the liturgy on Sundays at the TLM. We homeschool now and live much more simply without as many worries and fears about things which are not related directly to the sanctity of our family. Can never ever ever thank God enough for this beautiful gift and the peace it brings to us.
God has led me to the TLM as well, No accident. God bless you and your family. I wish I had found TLM as I was raising my children, They are grown now, but I pray for them.
Don't you think that comparing and competing using the holy sacrifice of the Mass is sacrilegious?
Dios te bendiga
As a Boomer It gives me hope and comfort to see devoted TWENTY-SOMETHINGS living the faith, and expressing it beautifully. May our Lord and St. Michael protect you from all snares.
@@Kitiwake I see that he has, indeed, compared his life and the life of his family BEFORE and AFTER the Latin Mass. I'm curious, though, where you see him "compete" on that basis. Perhaps I am missing something, it is not like I've never done that before.
As a young priest, after celebrating my first sung High Mass, it came to my heart when I arrived at the sacristy: how all these years of training have deceived me!
God bless your ministry Father, and Godspeed!
I am 59 years and just found the Latin mass three years ago. After 30 years of novus ordo, the difference is like day and night. I never went back to a novus ordo mass again. I travel for work and at times I drive 3 hours just to get to a Latin mass. The Latin mass is simlpy a little peace of heaven here on earth.🙏🙏
Same! I drive an hour each way and I tell my kids all the time, that it's like a slice of Heaven here on Earth!
" I drive 3 hours just to get to Latin Mass."
Beautiful in so many ways
Your story is much like ours except for the distance we drive every week (only 2 hours). The benefit to our marriage, family and spiritual lives was so great that we started attending 2-3x/week. That was over 1 1/2 years ago.
Yes, like you we travel 3 hours there and back to assist with mass. We consider it a pilgrimage. There is nothing on the planet that can supercede such peace and honor of our Lord Jesus Christ for what He did for our souls! Nothing.
I had a parish in SW Colorado that celebrated Mass by a joke-telling Deacon for years. Then we were gifted a Polish priest. There's no comparison. Not only are the Polish Catholics far more revenant and traditional, we regained the transubstantiation of the Mass again. I also discovered adoration and the magnificent joy of Holy reconciliation. Our faith is such a beautiful gift. It's just being sabotaged by mediocre managers who seek esteem not redemption. Keep wokeness out of Church and all will rediscover the traditional beauty available to all who attend with humility and devotion.
Watched again. I’m a pre-Vatican II Catholic. Graduated HS in 1968. Heart breaking what’s been lost.
I’m right with you - Graduated from a Josephite High School across the street from the Passionate Fathers Church - in 1964 - I’m glad to have the Latin Mass here where I retired.
@@huskymom234That's fine for you, but what about the rest of us? Graduated in 1977. Catholic high school closed while I was in the lower grades. In junior high, we learned to play our guitars at Mass, standing in the sanctuary. Same nuns left the convent or radicalized the sisterhood. We were robbed, as children, and then raised our own children in practices that seemingly didn't fully nourish their souls...
@@annaru3814The exact same thing happened to me! Graduated in 1976 and ended up leaving the Church in college. Wandered from faith to faith, church to church, even went to Synagogue, looking for roots. Finally found TLM in 2022. We WERE robbed!
38:44 - Breaks my heart - I’m so glad I discovered the TLM. It now has arrived at my Parish via the ICKSP. Some people whom are greatly opposed and yet some others who have spoken to me saying how happy they are and that they have a sense of being robbed for years from having true beauty in the liturgy. The consilium and bugnini really were root cause for the HUGE drop in vocations, attendances and confusion that still affect the church today.
Yup…. Freemasons and the devil 👿
I hope in my lifetime, I'll be able to attend TLM regularly. I hope it will be available in every parish in every part of the world
Oremus
Amin.
Amen. It has a more holy feeling (because they worship as we should all be!) to it.
Pope Francis and Chicago Cdl Blasé Cupich wish to crush all that I’d good, true and beautiful: Eucharistic processions, reverent Masses, etc. and bring in all that is sinful and distracting.
Deus vult! 🛡️🗡️
I'm not even Catholic and this breaks my heart to pieces.
I know, right? I'm not Catholic either but wow this was riveting and fascinating.
Thank you❤
When we attend our Holy Mass we go to Calvary to adore our Lord. 🙏
The Masons have infiltrated the Catholic Church. To weaken it and discourage its members and discourage anyone from joining God’s true church.
Imagine how much more pain it causes to Our Lord His Sacred Heart and Our Blessed Mother and all of the Angels and Saints in heaven!
Seeing all of these people being misled and eventually losing the faith...
Jesus! Have mercy on their souls!
Oh dear God let every Catholic Church come back celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass! Let the magnificent Altars that were built to praise you and adore you be used again in every church throughout the world!
My soul was so moved by this video and I learned things at 64 years old that I never knew existed during the Vatican II counsel.
Thank you Jesus for redirecting me back to the traditional Latin Mass.
May God be with us and help us all.
Me too!!! (63) I can't say I prefer TLM, but this beautiful film helps me respect it, and love my faith more.
Deus vult! ✝️
Same, but I am 62. Very informative and interesting
I am 64. I can't decide many things, but I know the Novus Ordo is a turd compared with TLM. A turd.
Greetings from Catholic Poland brothers. I was extremely fortunate to grow up in a strong catholic society. My teachers were Dominican priests, masculine and intelligent. We celebrated the Latin mass often, and received excellent instruction. When I took a job in france, I was stunned at the lack of faith in a supposedly catholic country. I am now more grateful for the childhood I received.
Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi.
Polonia, Semper Fidelis 🇵🇱🇻🇦
How is the state of faith in Poland among it's youth?
@@monarchblue4280 it now depends on family and education. In the communist period especially (but really for all of polish history) being catholic was seen as necessary to be polish.
Now, many poles want to assimilate to EU social leftist values and minimize their faith. This is for financial gain, as the church has been almost a universally positive influence in polish history. Typically, these socially left poles are seen in homes from weak marriages.
Overall, Poland is much more faithful than the rest of Europe. A friend of mine who is a priest in Tarnów (most religious diocese, in the south) was deeply concerned that mass attendance dropped under 75% recently. The traditional minded poles have nearly 100% mass attendance, while novus ordo churches are 30-40%. It is sad to see such a rich catholic heritage being threatened by changes to the mass.
France is not Catholic anymore by a long run.
And it's mostly because of politicians, government, the press which never miss a chance to crap on the Catholic Church.
You wouldn't believe the amount of downright lies we're still taught in History class that stem right from 18th/19th century anticlerical movements.
I was super anti-Catholic because of that in my younger years but thank God I'm a History nerd so afterwards I realized so much of what I was fed was absolute hogwash.
And everytime some Catholic makes a stupid statement, or a good statement but said in a way that can be misinterpreted, you can be sure the press will amp it up by 10.
France and America were literally taken over by free masons.

The Traditional Latin Mass has changed me. I feel at 42 I’ve left my spiritual adolescence,stepping closer to Christ b/c I want more of him. There is something so beautiful about 6:30am Latin Mass. I look forward to waking up each morning and going to Mass to celebrate our Lord.
Never saw this before. Never knew of Vatican 2. And yes, I was a depressed and highly confused Christian about life... Trying to raise 4 children. Failing at everything.
Went to a Latin mass, I was told it was like it was before.
I felt the holy spirit calling me. And we only will go to Latin mass, lead by father Morrie.
Praying for your struggles to get better. Stand your ground against the devil. Pray for wisdom and direction.
After months of speaking to my girlfriend and trying to her to understand why I go to the Latin Mass, she finally understood with this documentary. Thank you very much for the brillant work.
I was never really into the faith, but now since I’ve been watching this trilogy I’ve truly had a change in heart about the mass and the Church as a whole. Thank you MOTA.

You were probably "never into the faith" because of the watered-down garbage and just plain sacrilege that came out of the Vatican at that time. And that's not your fault. Now we know the damage that it's done. I think that was the plan to begin with.
Yeah, sure. With that username, we totally believe you.
Me too but I despise the controversy. If the faithful could just live this without being shrill and superior, the TLM would be inviting not dividing.
@@BitsyBee Well, the people who made this film and the people featured in it do not want peace. They have been waging liturgical war for decades. Traditionis Custodes is their fault. They decided to be so obnoxious, the Pope had to do something.
@@BitsyBee TLMs we’re of the attitude of “live and let live”, just of the opinion that Novus Ordo could be more reverent in the reception of Communion-worthily-while kneeling and on the tongue from an ordained clergyman, eliminate the passing of peace✌️, a remnant of the hippy movement of the 60s when NO originated. Knell at the Credo. Return bells and smells (reverence show to the Consecration). Genuflecting rather than “head bobbing. Mass as unbloody sacrifice re-presented, not a community meal; priest as penitential person leading us in prayer; not a community meal with priest as emcee w/the focus on him?
Im 71 and my eyes are filled with tears.Christ have mercy.
I converted to the Catholic faith when I was 19 in college and have been Catholic for a few years now. I always thought it was just me who felt so incredibly hurt for having the normative form of Catholic worship for 1500 years taken from my generation without any apparent regard for what it would do to us. I don't even have any particular attachment to the Latin language per se, just the ritual excellence and reverence of the Tridentine liturgy. How could it be that the Popes subsequent to the council were clearly unsatisfied with the novel introductions to the Mass and did nothing about it?
Modern men and intellegista were allowed to illegally dump pollutants into the great river of our tradition saying, "This is liquid like the water, so it is the same thing." Yet I am the one treated like a foreign growth subverting the Church and the authority of His Holiness, Pope Francis, for being a traditionalist. I feel like I have converted to a religion that does not want me to be a member of the Church of Christ that has forgotten who she is among the world religions-the only institution of truth in the world. I have been gaslit by the modern men in our age to think that I have fallen in love with the wrong thing. As soon as I graduate, I am finding a job in an area with access to a Latin Mass community.
That's exactly how I felt as a teenager in the late 1980s. The only option at the time was the Society of Saint Pius X, and that was problematic at the time. Luckily, you still have more opportunities, despite Custodes.
@@bigbeddie Thank you for taking the time to reply and share.
You're right, thankfully the Archbishop of my area is more or less friendly to the FSSP parishes in my area.
The PROBLEM is that some misguided people in the Latin mass community have taken an adversarial, hostile approach to the Vatican AND have also made the mistake of being hostile and adversarial toward the Catholic community as a whole by asserting superiority over folks who are happy with the novus ordo. I really do think you are pointing the finger in the wrong direction.
DON'T GET ME WRONG: I happen to think that the new mass is just UGLY, but that does not mean that those who are satisfied with it are enemies of mine or that I am going to get angry about it and build up resentments.
Something I appreciated about the Catholic faith is that it used to be that there was "something for everyone" in it. Think of all the various churches that are under its umbrella, for instance, such as the Byzantine Catholic Churches, etc. Likewise with the traditional Latin Mass. It's a beautiful thing to have. It is wonderful to be able to make that choice. But instead of gently welcoming the novus ordo people and inviting them lovingly back to the traditional form, I DO see a lot of hotheads on social media banging big noisy drums of animosity around this topic and behaving in a rude manner. That just has to stop.
A very good friend of mine prefers the new mass. Her rationale is that it is preferable because the words are understandable and nobody knows Latin because no one speaks it and hardly anyone studies it any more. I have heard from some people that they feel that the Latin Mass proponents are arrogant or they behave in a superior fashion. I don't think that is true. It sounds very much like an inner insecurity with those people. But I mention it because it pertains to the point I am trying to make, which is, I believe, the same one that Pope Francis recently made, and that is that the TLM community is causing a fracture with some exagerrated hostility. It's the wrong approach. Instead of getting mad and treating it like a political debate, we should be embracing one another in fraternal love and care to get this ship back on course.
We should be on our knees pleading for the cause of the TLM, instead of marching in the streets, banging drums, firing canons, and yelling about our grievances.
Bsp. Lefebvre will be recognized as a saint one day. Cdl. Otovani took a lot of abuse from the Modernists who wished to force the New Order Mass on all.
Move to Dfw Texas, its quite a large community here of trads.
I remember as a teen, my mom and aunt discussing the damage this would cause. They were very disappointed but felt they were at a loss as to what they could do. This document is the best thing to come out, because it puts it all into one viewing and understanding whereas for many years, we have been getting bits and pieces. Something has to be done to salvage the Liturgy before it really is to late! Thankyou and God bless to all who contributed to getting the truth and source out.
Just finished watching this. Have been attending Latin Mass for four months after being away from the church for over 40 years. I was baptized in the old rite but knew nothing but the NO. I attribute it to God’s grace that it just occurred to me to attend the TLM after completely rejecting my faith. I’m praying in thanksgiving and for my fellow Gen Xers who have left. Come back to the true faith. We were sold watered down truths and lies. Hope to see you at Mass🙏

Thank you, how wonderful it is to know that the young have found the True Mass. Now I can die in peace. 83 years and more than 2/3 without the Mass of my ancestors. God Bless all the priests that offer the True sacrifice. They bring abundant graces through these masses and the sacraments. There is no true joy of the heart in this dark world without the Tridentine /Mass of 17 hundred years that filled all Catholics Churches from morning to night. prf
All Catholic mass approved by the Bishop Is true mass.
What are you on about?
Dude the Tridentine mass was created at the council of Trent, that wasn't 1700 years ago lol
@@mikethemonsta15 The TLM was CODIFIED by Pope St Pius V as a result of the Council of Trent - not remotely the same as being 'created at the Council of Trent'.
@@jaimemorgan5323 if you think by "codified" you mean "well there was no significant changes to what they were doing before". Think again. Because there was a lot of people upset back then on the restrictions of the masses you could celebrate. Trent suppressed other Latin liturgies and many people were upset, even calling this the end of the Church.
When I converted from an Evangelical Christian perspective to Catholicism, my mother (Baptist) said to me that she didn't mind as long as I didn't attend a Latin form of the Mass. I found that an incredibly interesting thing for her to say, but she didn't elaborate. On that day that I was baptised, there was a Nun present at the baptism and she met & was talking with my mother. They seemed to get along quite well, and the Nun later said to me that "Protestants & Catholics are not that different, are they(?)" but she asked me in a questioning way as if she was looking for reassurance. Now, as one who has found the Latin mass & discovered all the teachings that were stripped from the Church after Vatican II, I can say, yes, we are immensely different. The teachings of Evangelical churches and the teachings of the Catholic Church pre vatican II have major differences. And the disapproval/suspicion that my mother showed towards the Latin mass I believe comes from a place of fear of that true divide between Catholics & Protestants becoming more apparent to me (which is not so apparent in Novus Ordus Mass'). While there are certain core beliefs that we share, there are certainly strong differences of which I am becoming painfully aware now that I am in a mixed marriage (approved by the Church before anyone asks...)
Bsp. Anibal Bugnini who designed the New (world) Order Mass, Prefect for Liturgy and Divine Worship in the 60s was a Mason who joined protestant ministers to create the New Mass to consider community over focus on praising, honoring and glorifying God. See Michael Davies book, Liturgical Time Bombs in Vatican II: The Destruction of the Catholic Faith through Changes in Catholic Worship.
This the third time I’ve watched Episode 2, and just like the other two times I’ve cried like a baby all the way through the last 10 minutes. Sacred polyphony is so beautiful and makes me feel so close to God. ❤
How do I watch the other episodes?
The original mass by Jesus was Aramaic and early church . Hope u follow rome and pope and the Latin mass is great but not the original
God bless
@@joeharvey5556 My husband is from Syria where some Christians still worship in Aramaic. There are several ancient liturgies still used around the world, and I don’t think it can be argued that one is superior to another. But I think we can agree that they are all far superior to the Mass of Paul VI.
Maybe gotta read up on this mass. My point is everyone mad about latin mass when its not only one and is not original mass.the apostles dod mass prob in greek and aramaic
To divide or say its horrible to delete it is ridiculous. Mass is as holy as you make it. So gods power and love is less in english mass is a illogical. Sorry i just woyld love to reach everyone that listen to ideas that are not seen by both sides. At this point priests who cause rifts now during this period in church are sinning
They nerd to focus on other things 100x more serious than litirgy dont u think?
If they spent more time in fasting and doctrine we would have a church. To me thos is a mortal sin of spiritual sloth. Sloth in sense of wrong focus. Go save souls
Just my two cents lol
God bless
Pray for me i need alot
Thanks
Yes, I too feel and believe the same.
Every time I get to listen to these - I cry.
I’ve not been to a TLM since I was in Europe in the 1980’s. The Mass had stopped in my parish at home in 1966. I remember it well my youngest brother was born in November and the Church renovations were completed before Christmas that year before his Christening.
I have two pictures in my mind one before and one at the Baptism.
Whats stopping you from attending? Please feel welcome to come back no matter how long its been ❤
I'm a highschool student and Catholic who's always felt something missing at mass (novus ordo), when I found the Latin mass I could finally feel Christ's presence
I'm 30yo and since finding the TLM I'm obsessed! I'm so in love with the faith now. I've also learned so much, I was actually embarrassed at just how poor my catechesis was, but so grateful now and to have access to this Mass 🙏
Thank you ! The Latin Mass is Absolutely Beautiful, inspirational , transcendent , it makes you want to go to church, and , be a part of it .GOD BLESS YOU !!!
My family have started to attend the TLM recently. I've wanted to go for a long time and my husband agreed. This series was a big deciding factor for us.
The traditional Latin mass is so beautiful and full of meaning and devotion. Why are they trying to destroy it?
Because the Devil hates it. The human element of the Church has been infiltrated by Freemasons and Communists. The Church is mimicking Our Lord and going through its passion. Things will get worse but then it will be the beginning of the restoration, just as it appeared Our Lord died but then he was resurrected. God always wins and the Church will stand despite everything.
Bc it is so full of meaning and devotion.
"They" were content to allow TLM to exist; what "they" are trying to destroy are attacks on their reputation and authority.
Theu are communists, homosexuals, and Freemasons who are out to destroy oue church. And they are doing a pretty damn good job of it.
Pope Francis detests those things which are sacred or religious-TLM, cloistered and contemplative x religious, hands folded prayerfully. Early in his youth, Bergoglio went to a Shrink to admit how conservatism people repulsed . I don’t believe he sought correction, just consolation.
Excellent! Brought me to tears.Our Most Holy Lord deserves ALL REVERENCE and HONOR only truly exhibited in the TLM. 🙏🏼
As a Gen Z’er, I love the Traditional Latin mass!

Second time watching. Still makes me want to cry for what was lost to so many. Lord have mercy.
I am so thankful that our Bishop is not suppressing the TLM, but is actually encouraging the the growth of our community. We are in large, beautiful parish with an awesome Priest. Our Bishop actually said on his radio show that he sees that the TLM community is in no way divisive.
You are so lucky, ours is trying to shut us down. Time to go underground.
I agree. Have both.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines as an organisation hates the TLM.
Which Bishop is this?
@@Justin-yn5py Bishop Joensen
I grew up knowing only the NO, and sadly broke away to Protestantism for a while. One of the things I respect about the Orthodox, Coptic, and other traditional churches is the preservation of their liturgies. When you attend one of them, there is a profound sense of holiness, and the entire service is centered around the Eucharist. You KNOW it is the Body and Blood. I really hope the Roman Catholic Church comes back to their liturgical heritage. I appreciate films like this that make the presence of the Latin Mass known to a wider audience.
Thank God 4 the "true Mass" I was a member of our Lady of Mt Carmel I'm Littleton, Denver. So blessed to b there. I now have 2 attend Novrus Ordo a reverent one & w/ good priests but what a departure from the Latin Mass We have a young priest who will on occasion offer the Latin Mass Thank u Lord!!

When I was but a wee lad, way back in the mists of time, there was no such thing as the "Traditional Latin Mass," there was only the "Mass." I was in High School while the Robber Council was under way, and I was wholly disenchanted by it. Changes to the Mass started coming out even before the Robber Council closed. It started with the order that the Mass Readings -- Epistle and Gospel -- were to be read by the Priest from the Altar Missal in the Vernacular. I remember seeing one of those updated Missals and thinking "How Distasteful!" Then the Offertory was put in the Vernacular and the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar and the "Leonine Prayers" at the end of Low Mass were done away with. Finally the Canon and even the words of Consecration were also changed to the common language. This was followed by such foo-faw as "Lay Lectors," who somehow turned out to be mostly women. reading the Epistle and leading the "Bidding Prayers." And this was BEFORE the introduction of the Novus Ordo Missae in 1969. At the time I was unaware of any "Resistance" among the clergy. The whole thing prompted me to go off into my "Prodigal Years," of which I will not speak here.
Then, in either 1976 or 1977, the late Father Francis Fenton came to a local Holiday Inn near our town and celebrated the TLM and spoke at a Communion Breakfast that followed. I remember that the title of his speech was "The Roman Catholic Church, Its Tragedy and Its Hope." I learned much, but my biggest take-away was knowing that the TLM was still available, though under mostly clandestine circumstances. And HOO-Triumphalist-RAY! I was able to return to the same home that I had so stupidly left!! I went to confession, and have been back with the True Mass and Sacraments ever since.

Very well said Arthur, I was in Secondary school too when it happened. Guess what? The Tridentine Mass was out in Ireland in 1965 I wouldn't believe so many people just followed blindly.
This is as the Lord has permitted, AD; as a fiery test on our faith. Give thanks to God and His good favour for it ..
Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek.
God bless. ;o)
Thank God! Thank you Arthur.
Why was the Latin Mass suppressed? When Pope Paul VZi realized that Bsp. Bugnini, who served as Prelate of the Office of Liturgy and Divine Worship, the creator of the Latin Mass was a Mason why did he not re examine what he’d created? Why did he not excommunicate him. Pope Paul transferred him to Iran in charge of 20,000 Catholics. Why did he risk endangering the faith if these people?
Rev. Charles Murr sheds much light on the infiltration of Freemasonry into the Church in the book, Murder in the 33rd Degree. Bsp. Eduardo Gagnon did a thorough investigation of the infiltration. Pope John Paul wished to clean it out but died in the process. Pope JPII was either naive or too preoccupied w/his travel plans to remove the Masons which Bsp. Gagnon identified. Sad neglect of duty.
@@johnholmes6667 I do not "Know" that Bugnini was a Mason, but I suspect that the "smart money" would back that wager, and even give you odds! As to Pope Paul being surprised by the very wide gap between what he might have expected and what he got, he was nevertheless quite pleased with the Novus Ordo Missae. I'm sure he, thorough modernist that he was, viewed it as his "Legacy!" He was right in that, since his memory will always carry the shame of having dumped this "excrementum" upon the Church! And.. It was the Bishops, thorough modernists themselves, who acted as if the Novus Ordo gave them permission to forbid the TLM, even though it didn't. So they went ahead and banned its celebration within the world's dioceses. As was eventually acknowledged by Cardinal Ratzinger while he sat upon Peter's Throne using the name Benedict, the TLM was "NEVER" abrogated! It is as valid and licit today as it was in 1573!
I grew up with the Latin Mass in the 50s and 60s. I was enthralled w Latin and felt the Holiness of the rite even as a small child. When the Mass was changed my Spirit revolted even though I was still a child. It has always been in the Church and sanctified millions of souls and saints. Now it is being discarded like an unwanted heirloom. "Don't cast your pearls bfore swine" because they won't appreciate it.
I'm not catholic but I'd love to go to a TLM. I vaguely remember it from my childhood through a friend of the family. It was beautiful. This is beautiful. Even if you can't understand the words, you know this is holy.
the second time i went to a TLM i bought a book, there it is all masses, for everyday, and it is written in latin but with the translation aside, it was pure joy
Rewatching Episodes 1 and 2 on Christmas Eve, 2023. Still moves me to tears. I pray more and more people are moved by this and come to the Faith, through the beauty of the Latin Mass. Thank you again for making this documentary. Looking forward to Episode 3!
I'm also watching tonight. Too choked up for words.
Right!? @@PattiS3
Me and my wife had terrible arguments because she is protestant. She attended her first TLM last july, 16, feast of Our Lady of Carmel, by the way in carmelite Church. For the first time in nearly 7 years she considered being baptized catholic. Pray for her and praise be to God.
This was so so good. It does make me angry of how much I’ve been cheated or lead the wrong way against the Catholic Church in a way. But I’m so happy to be learning about the Latin Mass & I’m so happy that it growing. Praise God✝️🙏🏼♥️🕊
I was a cradle Catholic, raised in the Novus Ordo Church. Like many I drifted away from the Church but by the grace of God, rediscovered it and the Traditional Latin Mass. It has changed me completely
I finally know what it means to truly love the Lord!
I had started attending Latin Mass a year ago, driving an hour and a half each direction because thats where I encountered God most profoundly and personally.
I miss it so much!
Attending N.O., to meet obligation and to obtain the blessings of the Eucharist. But God is not as tangibly present to me.
Thank you, Archbishop Lefebvre for your numerous sacrifices and for preserving tradition so that those who continue to accuse you of schism can enjoy the fruits of your labor.
KBien. Consider that God raised up a single Archbishop to preserve the Latin Mass.
Consider one bishop that still wanted to do things only his own way!! Lefebvre Deserved to be sanctioned and cancelled. I am glad Reconcilliation is happening between TLM and Norvus Ordo Except for those of you who refuse to consider TLM is the Only Way or the hell way. TLM is fine. So is proper Norvus Ordo! "Both / And" at its finest. Nuns who decide they want to write their own rules? Those went by byebye. Thanks be to God!!
Do not blame Vatican II though. Blame those church "leaders" who thought it meant everyone needs to save the baby before it even got to the bathwater. Brothers and Sisters in Christ's True Catholic Church, please hear me: It is NOT heaven's plan to have TLM only. Nor to have chants only. Reverent Norvus Ordo, yes. Beach wear and cocktail dancing clothes styles at holy mass? Absolutely not. The devil is laughing his butt off at the division you have created in the holy mass!!! Just as he is laughing at the divided families. Just as he is laughing at the total breakdown in supportive family structures in the culture many of our poorer brothers and sisters live in... those who are controlled so much by government handouts. Whether black, white, brown, olive, red. Wake up Catholics. Join together and support the best in all areas. Quit pointing fingers and hiding behind the Only Way. Instead, follow The Way. Amen.
I believe that he may well be a future doctor of the Church
Archbishop Lefebvre knew what he was doing to preserve the faith. The SSPX is the remnant Church and what will keep the faith. Is it any wonder that more and more people are flocking there.
Thank you for this excellent documentary.
I am 58 and a cradle Catholic and I went to 12 years of Catholic school.
Although I love my Catholic school heritage and I love going to Mass,
I feel a bit cheated since my twin brother and I, the youngest in my family, never had the opportunity to attend the Latin Mass like my parents, older siblings and older relatives.
My generation of Catholics really missed out on something special and sacred, the Latin Mass.
I'm really looking forward to attending my first Latin Mass! 🙏 ❤️ 😊
In contrast with the vernacular languages, Latin was fixed to the Cross by Pontius Pilate's command, Therefore, by being fixed to the cross Latin became a sacred Language. Fixed to the instrument of salvation. It is more important what God considers sacred than what humans consider comfortable, such as having their local language.
It is worth mentioning that many Saints prayed in Latin, for most of them it wasn't their vernacular language, yet they didn't complain. Rather they saw learning to pray in Latin as a sacrifice pleasing to God.
The Saints composed prayers in Latin and exorcised demons with Latin prayers. The demons hate Latin because it was on the Cross and because the Saints used them during the Mass, the Breviary and the special Blessings for Sacramentals and Exorcisms which are in Latin.
Few priests nowadays use these blessings, and instead, they use generic blessings of less efficacy, often those prayers are not the prayers authorized for the Church, but rather a blessing they made up on the spot, or which do not clearly state the intention to Bless. On the other hand, the Roman Ritual is in Latin and contains approved texts and rubrics.
Of course, love, reverence, the state of grace and the sanctity of the people are more important than the language, even then if all things considered they are the same except for the language, Latin would have the advantage over vernacular languages.
People who go to Latin Mass, do not have to understand Latin. They carry the readings with the translation on a Missal. And that may include the chants, Propers of the Mass (The readings which change) and the Order of the Mass (The prayers which do not change every day).
Even then, the parishes or chapels do publish the readings for the faithful to read beforehand. And the priests, read the translations of the readings before they preach.
Latin has pronunciation rules which are accessible and easy to memorize, even 7 old altar boys can do it. Even then, the faithful don't have to say the Mass responses or sing.
Generally, Latin prayers are faster to say than in most languages, as because of the declensions and other grammatical rules of Latin, it's generally possible to say more with fewer words.
There is a myriad of other reasons I haven't mentioned as to why Latin should be more widely used in the Church.
"Of course, love, reverence, the state of grace and the sanctity of the people are more important than the language, even then if all things considered they are the same except for the language, Latin would have the advantage over vernacular languages."
TO quote you from above, this is very important! Why wouldn't people want the gold standard of The Mass (TLM)?
OTOH I believe Our Blessed Lord when He talks of the intent of the heart being most important thing of all.
Some of the truest holiest priests and people I've met have been at the so-called NO Mass. I think it is wrong of some in the TLM movement to claim sincere heartfelt Catholics in the their NO Masses are somehow doing wrong.
Why can't we have a continuum of liturgies? No doubt a source of purest devotion emanates from the Mass of the Ages.
Instead of banning Latin Mass we need MORE Latin masses. Every parish. The two can co-exist. It is a progression of treasure on offer to the faithful.
Banning Latin Mass is like blocking off the well and only relying on random rain.
As you rightly point out there are things more important than the language (order of gravity) and the fans of TLM can miss the message of Christ by claiming the NO is somehow heretical. Have both. Draw connections and parallels and promote the treasure of tradition. Both sides (PF and the TLM) are creating divisiveness. The Church should allow both and disallow heresy from either form.
Focus on Christ's message first and foremost.

So glad this came back online! God Bless everyone who helped contribute to this divine mission!
Beautiful. Beautiful. May the Lord manifest again in full glory in the Latin Mass. Amen.
I was lapsed for many years, totally apart from the sacraments. I am certain that without discovering the Old Rite, I may not have returned to the Church and her sacraments. The Latin Mass is an invaluable evangelical tool as well. We have something that no one else can offer.
It makes me cry to see what my generation, and the ones after me, were robbed of. Pope Francis is behaving like an abusive father, taking away a Mass that truly lifts the spirit and gives comfort to the soul.
If you've never been to a TLM, go while you still can. It's otherworldly in its beauty and reverence.
I converted 5 years ago. I attend my local catholic N.O parish. The priest is great and really tries his best to get people engaged and active. I love the TLM and wish my church adopted it. I can only hope to gain influence from within to reverse course. There are many good people in the N.O who have no idea TLM is even a thing. They just need to be shown.
I'm touched by the uplifting and sober solemnity of the end credits.

This film reveals what priests really need today, and it's not marriage! Priests and we and the world are starving for REVERENCE: profound, adoring, awed respect (Merriam-Webster definition), placing the soul in the presence of God in its thirst for union with Him, the most basic hunger of the soul which only the Catholic Church can nourish. If souls don't find the reverence they seek at Mass, they will look for it elsewhere, in Freemasonic ritual, Zen Buddhism discipline, occult practices, witchcraft, Final Fantasy, and other ersatzes.
I'm in agreement with your post. Most Catholics know little of the vast storehouse of rich devotional methods and practices because the post Conciliar Church has chosen to busy itself with worldly matters, not supernatural ones. This adopted approach has impacted every facet of Catholicism and has left it depleted, meager and dry. This has prompted many who crave profound meaning, beauty, transcendence and solemnity, to seek it outside the Church.
Along with reverence, the world, and all of us in it, have lost an understanding of innocence, modesty, gracefulness.
The worship and primacy of the 'self' constantly glorified, is replacing manners, politeness, dignity and respect of the self and others. Perhaps a society that exhibits reverence could recover these other important and nearly lost virtues.
I am angered by what has been taken from us!
My goodness how much we've lost. What damage has been done to our church. I grew up the child of a staunchly Catholic father, who was an altar boy in Notre-Dame de Paris. Whenever we went to mass when I was a child (Novus Ordo by that time, in the 90s) he almost seemed to be in physical pain when we were in church. He did not feel the presence of our Lord anymore, he cringed at the liturgical abuses, but by that point (and this was a time few people had access to the internet) all Catholic churches in our wider area seemed to be the same - we certainly tried plenty.
I never knew what he meant when he talked about feeling the presence of our Lord, having grown up around some particularly heinous examples of NO abuses, until I went to a Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy. I would love to attend a Tridentine Mass, and experience the beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass that my father loved so dearly. Unfortunately when I finally discovered a church that celebrated one, I was diagnosed with cancer and had to go into isolation due to being immunocompromised, as isolation that ended up lasting over two years when the pandemic hit us just months after my cancer diagnosis. By the time I was no longer quarantined, the one church that celebrated the TLM had stopped doing so after Pope Francis' crackdown on the TLM. The Novus Ordo, in its present form, is an abject failure. I am incredibly saddened by the fact that Pope Francis has undone so much of Benedict XVI's work in restoring the Latin Mass to its rightful place as, at the very least, an option to those who value it.
It hurts to see what happened to our church. I can't help but feel sometimes that everyone is welcome in Pope Francis' Catholic Church, except traditional Roman Catholics.
Thank you, so inspirational 💖
I just love the Latin Mass, it puts Our Lord where He should be, on the Altar for all to see, love and adore.
I'm a convert and when I came into the church it was like my old protestant church. Then going to the Latin Mass, I had come home.
💞 My Lord and My God. 💞
Thank God it's coming back. Although I already had it downloaded before our benevolent host took it off their space. I'm glad it's making a come back because more people need to see it. I'm anticipating episode 3, would love to know when to expect it
Yes! I, too, eagerly await episode 3!
This has been a very uplifting video. Thank you for making it available for us traditional Catholics. May God pour a plethora of blessings upon all those faithful who see and share this video.
Welcome Back! So glad this has finally returned - CONGRATS!
God bless the people that are behind this great documentary.
The Latin Mass IS NOT GOING AWAY. For a reason It IS The Mass of All Ages;The Trinitarian Mass of the Divine Trinity of God The Father, The Son and Holly Ghost. The remembrance of the Sacred Sacrifice of the Divine Son to the Father God Almighty, to save man from sin opening the doors of The New Jerusalem to Eternal Life with The Creator. NO ONE is taking away this TREASURE given to us by God Himself. Thank you so much for this great video. Laudetur Iesus Christus.
I’m stunned but not surprised. Holy Mother Mary brought me back to Catholic Church as a lifelong baptist in 2016. Studied A year in a Seminary in 2016-2017. Reluctantly Took on a hospital job in 2018 and learned to love it thoroughly with the help of our Mother Mary whom has been with me my whole life. I was a cardiovascular research analyst who preferred computational analysis of diseased hearts. Now, working directly with heart patients. It’s a constant joy and tears witnessing the frailty of each human life divided by One breath and One heartbeat.
There are a lot of diverse opinions in the Church on how it should be. But I try to just immerse myself in the scriptures and tune out the noises. I think anyone here with a strict Protestant bible drilling life could relate to what I am experiencing.
That one year of study in the seminary was very important as my first year as a Catholic. I was one difficult student raising questions of what secular world have that needed to be addressed as we Catholic evangelise. Our Rector Father priest would always smiled and sat next to me during session breaks. His silent grace gave me a lot of encouragement for asking questions. And I loved him for being there during the first year of my Catholic life.
God is with us all of the time.
The phrase ‘cognitive dissonance’ is the perfect way to describe the NO. There were so many abuses of the liturgy that gave the overall impression that it was stupid and that it was a waste of time. I didn’t see a reverent mass until in my 30s and I was blown away by what could’ve been possible when I was a child and how much that might’ve changed my decisions. They robbed us. Thank you for making this film. I hope many more watch it and refuse to comply with bishops and clergy who continue to push this fruitless liturgy.
Gen X here. A little older than you but I agree with every word. My life would have been completely different had I not been robbed. I probably would have become a religious. But God did not err in my life. I can’t wait to see His full plan for me.
We were soo robbed of the beautiful true Catholic Mass. My children robbed as a result as well. Shame on them all. This Trilogy should be seen by all Catholics. God save us ✝️😢
I have cognitive dissonance I don't need more. maybe that's why I'm drawn to the TLM.
Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, indeed. Truly when assisting at The TLM, one KNOWS in his heart that that is the Body, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I was not a regular attendee at the NO, but have not missed a Sunday or Feast day since discovering the richness of The TLM.
Same for me. The NO felt like an obligation I look forward to TLM every Sunday and Holy days. It’s not going anywhere. It’s so beautiful I find myself holding back the tears. Look what they tried to take away from us.
JESUS IS KING!
@39 mins time stamp. As they graphics was removing the parts of the Old Mass esp Gregorian chants, i felt so much pain as if someone is removing my heart. Although I am a born in 80s, and I feel so helpless that so much we are missing and I can't do anything about it. Moreover feels sorry for why our priests not feel this.
I am planning to take Catechism classes but in a Latin Mass Cathedral. I notice the difference between New Order Mass and TLM. And I love the TLM.
"You could walk out and not have prayed once". Yes, those words struck me because that's exactly what happened to me. I attended the NO for several years and even sang in a choir, but after a long time, it finally dawned on me that nothing got inside of me and I had not prayed once. I said the words, sang the songs, but nothing got inside. I lost my faith in the N.O. and finally left and didn't miss it. It took a long time but I finally found a Traditional Latin Mass and stayed with that until I retired and moved to southern Missouri where we only had the Traditional Mass once a month on a Wednesday evening. After that priest retired, the bishop did not (or would not ?) replace him with another who would/could celebrate the Traditional Mass. At the present time, I am drifting without a church to attend and I WILL NOT go back to what destroyed my faith in the first place. The modernist Protestantised modernist mass needs to be put in a dumpster and the lid closed.
Be careful now. Christ is dying on the Novus Ordo altar and you're placing Him in the "dumpster."
@crake01 Novus Ordo is a Communal Meal. TLM is a Sacrifice
@@nathaniellathy6559 No, I was taught and continue to believe it is a sacrifice. I was never taught it was a communal meal. The only people I hear calling the Novus Ordo Mass a "communal meal" are TLM people, like you just did.
@@markcharron if that’s the only people you’re hearing say it, you’re not paying attention to what many bishops and cardinals have said. Simple as
@@SadieEnword692 Any bishops who deny the Real Presence are in grave error. I don't see what that has to do with the Mass, which I was taught and believe and revere as the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ. So here's the thing, I believe this, and yet I attend a Novus Ordo Mass... so does that mean you're all wrong to assume that the Novus Ordo somehow prevents me from believing in the Real Presence? How do you explain this if it's an absolute that to go to a Novus Ordo Mass automatically makes you doubt the Real Presence? ... I just think this tired old argument isn't logical, and holds Novus Ordo Mass goers in such low esteem that you somehow think we all become stupid of basic Catechesis just because the form of the Mass is different than the Tridentine. It really speaks to the way you see us rather than the way you see the Lord.
It didn't just "go awry." The very few at the top were malicious in their intent. This is undeniable. Read "Infiltration" by Dr. Taylor Marshall, whom you interviewed as part of this documentary.
Bump i am reading it now. it is excellent to read.
This is why i get so angry at many Christians of all denominations. These wolves don't even hide they literally plaster it on the back of the dollar bill, name this "novus" mass novus ordo?? If a dummy like me can see these jesuits and free masons for the demons they are anybody can because they don't hide, they even call it hiding it in plain sight. Sort of like when you open the drawer or fridge looking for what you want and it's the last thing you see despite being right where you should have looked right away.
I thought that was such a loaded question ("...what went so awry?") That lady who asked that question would've needed to sit down and get comfortable for the next, oh, 10 hours to get the full answer. Lol.
We went to that mass in the holiday Inn in the 90s.
Fr Cepon. God rest his soul.
The most dreadful portion of this video is the visual of the removal of words from the traditional texts. I feel betrayed. And I'm 63!
Same. It's shocking to make a direct comparison.
Catholic schools need to teach this to our children. We need classes for this as well. I want this, I need this.
Wow, born,baptized and confirmed and i never heard of this before.
I just looked it up and the only TLM in one hundred miles is a five minute drive!
I might just return to the religion of my youth.
Do it. Godspeed
Did you go??
@Eserr7856
Yes.
I don't know much , really .
I am still going, I go to both n.o and tlm.
Really glad to be back.
Glad to see this back online. Keep up the good work ❤️
Absolutely breathtaking-- "fight the good fight"🙏❣️😇💞
I'm not Catholic, but I crave a reverent, truthful Mass. This was a wonderful foray into what my Catholic brothers are going through now. Yes, I've definitely seen a lower median age for more traditional services of my own tradition. I think the explanation is simple: The younger among us are sick of being lied to by secular culture, so we want to live our lives for the long term, somewhere where we will not be lied to: in the reverent worship of the Way, Truth, and Life: Christ.
So beautiful and truthful your comment
Wow! A complete report and reflection of this great mystery, the Mass of the Ages. Beautiful! 🙏🙏🙏
This has been the BEST journalistic investigation into to who did what to our liturgy and our Church.
Actually, the best journalistic investigation was the liturgical trilogy written by the late, great Welshman Michael Davies (it's quoted in this video). I definitely recommend you try it. This is what Cardinal Ratzinger said about the writings of Mr Michael Davies:
I have been profoundly touched by the news of the death of Michael Davies. I had the good fortune to meet him several times and I found him as a man of deep faith and ready to embrace suffering. Ever since the Council he put all his energy into the service of the Faith and left us important publications especially about the Sacred Liturgy. Even though he suffered from the Church in many ways in his time, he always truly remained a man of the Church. He knew that the Lord founded His Church on the rock of St Peter and that the Faith can find its fullness and maturity only in union with the successor of St Peter. Therefore we can be confident that the Lord opened wide for him the gates of heaven. We commend his soul to the Lord‘s mercy.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Letter to Mr Julian Chadwick, Chairman, The Latin Mass Society, 9th November 2004.
@@Veritas.Studios.Channel I have a huge library of his works, nice girl I dated bought it for me!!
This is the best TLM documentary I have seen. Deo gratias.
As a Catholic convert who READ herself into the church and whose only experience of the Holy Mass (before conversion) was beautiful movies, Gregorian chant (which I adore), and a handful of visits to gorgeous Catholic churches, I have to finally admit that the new version of the mass is a HUGE disappointment. I just can't understand WHY...WHY did they ruin the mass and make it so darn UGLY? There is no reverence in it. The language feels like someone dragged a big sack of potatoes into the church and started throwing them at me, one by one. It makes me want to cry. I was a nun in a Hindu convent, living a contemplative life - and I gave it up for the beauty of the Catholic faith and its contemplative tradition. Huge disappointment. I'm shifting over to the Latin mass. It's available in ONE accessible church in my town...a very old, kind of run-down and poor church. I am disabled and mostly home-bound, but I am going to drag myself there..
God bless you, you've inspired me
God will be happy to see you there.
thank you for reuploading! this is so valuable.
Thank you for making this very important Catholic series. The treasure that is the Latin Mass. The symbolism that is enshrined within the Latin Mass is sacred and solemn. Pope St Paul VI was lied to every step of the way by Archbishop Bugnini. It is shocking how much damage vatican 2 has caused to the faithful. A Pope is head and leader of the Catholic faith but does not have the right to change Dogma and the Church's Magisterium.
