Story of how I discovered the Latin Mass
- we were devout Novus Ordo Catholics
- desired reverence, sacred music, esp in Mass
- but consistently we had terrible music
- and the Mass was constant talking by the priest and others
- something missing
- had been to Latin Mass twice, was off-putting
- friends of ours encouraged us to go though, and we did
- we thought everyone was judging us, condemning us for our children not being silent
- but later realized that we were simply projecting our own fears, no one in the TLM was actually condemning us
- started going regularly
Six years later
- I've learned a good deal about how the Novus Ordo came to be
- and it is frightening and rotten
- one man, Monsignor Anibale Bugnini, effectively, pulled off a coup where he got to change the Mass willy-nilly
- https://onepeterfive.com/bugnini-destroyed-mass/
- very similar to the Bolshevik revolution, where a relatively small group of people managed to execute a coup detat and impose their will on a massively larger number of people
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution
- he orchestrated a coup, playing people off one another, gatekeeping and changing vital information, a true masterpiece that should be studied quite honestly, though in the same way that Machiavelli is studied
- God allowed this to happen
- analogous to the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews back in the Old Covenant
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity
- https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20136&version=DRA
- https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29&version=DRA
- it made them long for God and the goodness of what they had and had squandered
- and God promised them that He would bring them back, after He allowed them to be carried away captive
- I believe that God has allowed this all to be so that we will long for and desire the reverent, sacred, proper worship of Him in the traditional Mass
