Traditional Mass Receives Favorable Coverage in NY Times

Posted by admin 

Our readers may have seen an op-ed piece in yesterday’s New York Times by Kenneth J. Wolfe casting a favorable light on the return of the Traditional Mass.
An excerpt:
“At the beginning of this decade, Benedict (then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) wrote: “The turning of the priest toward the people has turned the community into a self-enclosed circle. In its outward form, it no longer opens out on what lies ahead and above, but is closed in on itself.” He was right: 40 years of the new Mass have brought chaos and banality into the most visible and outward sign of the church. Benedict XVI wants a return to order and meaning. So, it seems, does the next generation of Catholics.”

Certainly Mr. Wolfes optimism rings true today as we have just received the welcome news that Manhattan will now have a daily Traditional Mass at Holy Innocents Church (starting today!). see below
