It is very much easier to serve a Novus Ordo Holy Mass than a Tridentine Holy Mass. In my last parish where I was known I did not hesitate to serve Holy Mass if there was no regular server and did so often. In a strange parish church, if I was fit enough, I would hesitate unless asked. |

I know they're appointed, Rose. So, were you called to the Ministry of Reading or was a decision you made, something that you wanted to do?
I never said owt about musicians in the sanctuary.
I can only play Kum Bah Yah on the triangle.
Done that, in both Novus Ordo and Tridentine.
It's child's play.
There isn't really much to learn, apart from how to tie your cincture, to remember not to wear trainers, and to look fairly bored and gormless until you have to get up, go and do something very simple and sit back down again. |

Bishop Hopes, one of the auxiliaries of Westminster, has written a letter published in this weekend's Tablet and responding to the recent editorial entitled "The Old Rite put in its place". In his letter he echoes the Archbishop of Westminster's gratitude to those priests who have given up their time to respond to a need in the Church today

They must be joking! Supporters of the Latin Mass are people who make their own minds up, do not follow the crowd like sheep. I would prefer control of the types who seek to control others by forcing "participation" when one is not in the mood for singing, for example immediately following a bereavement.

Good to see that CatholicCulture.org has completed a Site Review of The Tablet website and considers it dangerous: http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/view.cfm?recnum=2645
The review goes on to list the reasons why it is considered a danger (click on the link above). |

The web site Catholic Culture, is a reactionary traditionalist element that would have us all back in the ghetto. Gerry |

The Tablet costs about £2 a week by direct debit. I no longer smoke or drink, but believe that to be less than the cost of a pint of beer or a glass of wine in most places and about the same as six cigarettes. I still drive. £2 gets me about one and a half litres of petrol. The Tablet seems excellent value to me. I no longer buy the Herald, Times or Universe. Most of the content of all three seems to me to be advertising or "filler" content. Each to his own. |

CatholicCulture.org Who are these self-appointed guardians of the faith? Their website is not at all clear about this. I see that they commend TAN (though with one reservation!). That may be all some need to know about their approach. |

The article from the Tablet, below, is one of the "evidences against them:

http://www.catholicculture.org/about/mission/ They're not affiliated in any way with any Trad organisation. I'm guessing they're a group of Conservative Catholics. Why not recommend TAN? Why does their recommendation of TAN suddenly tarnish their reputation, as if a recommendation of TAN is a bad thing? Would you subject the Rorate Caeli blog for their endorsement of Magnificat Dominum whose major organiser is an SSPX Father, and has been prefaced by Cardinal Canizares? |

It was reading this book that led me to doubt TAN. https://www.tanbooks.com/index.php/AA-1025 |

So we can agree that we do not know who they are or what their qualifications are for making any judgement about anything. They confirm your prior judgement and conflict with mine. I don't find myself any better informed for working that out. |
