The following is a transcript of our short, but very enlightening discussion… I recently contacted Tony, founder and creator of Reverent Catholic Mass, a website that maps the locations of reverent Catholic liturgy and devotion in the United States. The question then arises, in the midst of such chaos, how might Catholics easily find some kind of liturgy that is both solemn and reverent, fitting for Catholic worship. At the same time, some traditional Catholics are finding safety in Eastern Catholic churches of Oriental Rite, while others are finding refuge in the Ordinariates of English Patrimony.
A few Novus Ordo masses are even offered in Latin and are quite beautiful. Meanwhile, some regular Catholic parishes, that offer the regular mass (often called the Novus Ordo or “New Order”) are attempting to offer more traditional expressions of the liturgy that mirror the reverence often sought by TLM devotees. On the flip side, however, a few bishops have decided to protect the availability of the TLM in their dioceses. Some bishops have already banned the TLM in their dioceses, others have cut back on its availability. In the wake of Traditionis Custodes, the recent papal decree that severely curtails the availability of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), many Catholics have been scrambling to find reverent Catholic liturgy.
