Pope Benedict Eases Restrictions on Traditional Latin Mass

On 7 July 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued his motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, which gives priests of the Latin rite of the Catholic Church the freedom to offer the Traditional Latin Mass. This is one example of the mainstream media's reporting of the document.

"The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit "Christian" religion to destroy the work of God. The solution was in Rome. Their religion had come from ancient Babylon and all it needed was a face-lift. This didn't happen overnight, but began in the writings of the 'early church fathers'

If you knew proper history, you'd know that the Vatican is across the Tiber from the most ancient part of Rome that has the seven hills.

@frenchyo7 that you have gained so may negative ratings shows the deeply prejudicial nature of your rant and contradicts all Christian commands to love.

Pope Benedict is wonderful and the bravery with which he faces his liberal detractors shows how one should be. The Pope has changed the words that were so offensive to Jews. I so miss the reverence and wonder of the TLM

i'm just wondering... if the tridentine mass is extraordinary and the novus ordo os only ordinary and since we worship God in the mass... why worship HIM in the ordinary way??? He's GOD right? shouldn't he deserve the BEST kind of worship?

The Latin language was never dead. It's the official language of the church and always has been.

the latin mass was the JEWEL of the church. Gregorian chant isvery powerful and the ancient latin syllables also have an effect on the body-mind-spirit. Bringing back the Latin is a great decision. As a Catholic I grew up with it, and I have misssed it terribly.

@TenderTrap86 Don't bother, don't you know that the the Jews always want to play the martyr's and bring every one to their defense?

@daltonagre Islam is not the biggest world religion, Christianity is. Christianity = 2.2 billion. Islam = 1.2 billion people The only reason there are a lot of Islamic babies is because they breed like animals. Have you seen the mother, with a push chair and 4 or 5 kids around her? It's fucking crazy. They only do it either because they're whores or they want Islam to be the world's largest religion and take over other countries. THey should go back to their countries, fucking terrorists.
