Motu Proprio - Questionaire

[paramedicgirl]

1. Do you think the coming Motu Proprio will threaten the Novus Ordo Mass in your parish?

2. Do you feel the Motu Proprio is a good thing, and that having access to the Traditional Latin Mass will be beneficial for the Church?

3. Would you like to maintain the status quo and just keep things the way they are?

4. Do you think the Church is getting back to her roots or going backwards into the dark ages with this?

5. Are you pleased that finally, the traditional Catholics will have greater access to the Mass they love?

"the coming Motu Proprio" is a pipedream.
That's what I believe.
IF it does it will be toothless or full of "outs"

not at all

I would like to see the TLM offered more often and at more parishes. In regards to the staus quo...as long as the NO Mass is reverent and remains so and the abuses stop I have no problems.

4. Do you think the Church is getting back to her roots or going backwards into the dark ages with this?

back to her roots...I think we need that..as it seems to many parishes have so twisted the Mass that it no longer resembles what it should

5. Are you pleased that finally, the traditional Catholics will have greater access to the Mass they love?

Yes...but I have to say that the term "traditional" is rather a blanket statement that may not cover some that attend a reverent NO Mass.
I do think that there is a place for both of these Masses...the reverent NO and the revernet TLM.



Please note all opinions expressed are my own and I do not attempt to speak for anyone else!

Boy, I hope you are wrong!
When will it ever get here?

2. Do you feel the Motu Proprio is a good thing, and that having access to the Traditional Latin Mass will be beneficial for the Church? I think the Motu is a good thing, inasmuch as it will give their heart's desire to many Catholics. Hopefully, the presence of the TLM will have the effect of tightening up on the rubrics of the NO, or at least of initiating a conversation of how the NO is offered.

3. Would you like to maintain the status quo and just keep things the way they are? No, not at all. The bishops have NOT made a good faith effort to comply with Pope John Paul the Great's request for a generous application of the Indult. I also don't want the status quo in the NO. We need to continue the reform of the reform.

4. Do you think the Church is getting back to her roots or going backwards into the dark ages with this? I think the Church is drawing upon all her treasures, as our Lord spoke of the householder who brought out of his storehouse treasures both old and new. I do not regard the NO as NOT having roots in Catholic tradition, nor do I regard the TLM as the definitive Mass of the Church (our Eastern Catholic brethren would have something to say about that), the only one replete with tradition.

5. Are you pleased that finally, the traditional Catholics will have greater access to the Mass they love?

Yes, on several levels.

I agree. I don't think there will be a Motu Proprio.

I really don't know about this. I have a feeling that by the time the various comittees, congregations, etc. get done "editing" the Motu Proprio, it won't mean very much.

I hope the Holy Father stands his ground.

I have lots of faith in Pope Benedict. He's an awesome pope! If there is anyone who can restore the Latin Mass, it will be him.

3. Would you like to maintain the status quo and just keep things the way they are? No.

4. Do you think the Church is getting back to her roots or going backwards into the dark ages with this? We have 2,000 years of history as Catholics. Within the last 500 years my Irish ancestors alone suffered for being Catholics. They would be comfortable with the TLM and wouldn't have a clue about the NO. I'll leave it at that. My ancestors in Acadie would be comfortable with the TLM and wouldn't have a clue about the NO either. From a purely ethinic viewpoint, I can see litttle reason for either one of them wanting to worship in English. Maybe some thought needs to be given to this. Fifty years ago my Irish ancestors and my French ancestors would have worshipped in the same language. Exactly what has the Mass in the vernacular accomplished?

5. Are you pleased that finally, the traditional Catholics will have greater access to the Mass they love?

Yes.
