A Religious Revival

Try this one on, see if it fits. The Tridentine liturgy was CODIFIED at Trent, it in no way started in the 16th century. The roots of the Latin, (extraordinary form) of the mass harken back to the 2nd & 3rd century. Jews use Hebrew muslims use arabic, hindus use hindi etc etc etc etc etc etc. The priest never "turns his back" on the people but WITH the people turns to where it should be, directed to God, a vertical not horizontal form of worship.ALL ancient Christians turnes east to Jerusalem & to the rising sun, the direction in which the Messiah will come in the second coming and final judgement of this planet. The Mass, Divine Liturgy IS NOT about people, it is not happy clappy high priestess dancing, halloween masses, clown masses, guitar masses, doritto corn chip masses kool aid masses. In Catholic and Orthodox belief it is the REAL PRESENCE of the Messiah in a miracle called Transubstansiation. The ancient church used Koine Greek and Imperial Latin in the primitive Mass or Divine Liturgy not the vulgar or venacular.Thats why you see in 2010 almost every Latin Masses is filled to the rafters with people like me in the 20 to 40 yr old range as the venacular mass is slowly being abandon the ancient latin Mass is coming back BIG TIME and it is the young that are going for it in the millions worldwide. The previous generation, the hippy do ur own thing generation is dying off and with it the selfish hedonism, corruption and greedy materialism of the 60's 70's 80's & 90's.Facts are facts and history is history and no reactionary can change that. And if you have problems believing that go to a latin mass see who's there and how many, put down ur credit cards and i pods and read the church father. The paridymns are changing rapidly, this is a whole new generation and a new day.
