Paul Waddington, one of the organisers, said, “This is the first time the LMS has organised such a training conference in the north of England. I hope the laity will tell their priests about this wonderful opportunity to learn the Usus Antiquior in the setting of one of England’s finest Catholic seminaries.”
The LMS hopes to make a further announcement about a training conference in the south of England in the near future.

I go to the Tridentine mass when I can and I think that it is great that more priests are being given the opportunity to learn the Old Mass. But it should be pointed out to everyone that Pope Benedict XVI has already siad that the New Mass should be refered to as the "Traditional Mass", because it is the New Mass which is the Tradition now.
ReplyDeleteDid the Holy Father really say that?
ReplyDeleteWell, since the word traditional is derived from "Tradere" to hand over, deliver, entrust...
it seems interesting to refer to the Missal of Paul VI, an "banal on-the-spot product" or "fabricated liturgy" (opinions he gleaned admittedly as Cardinal Ratzinger) as something which was "handed on" or "entrusted" in the same way that the Tridentine Missal has been.
