A few days ago I read a pamphlet entitled "Why the Traditional Latin Mass?" subtitled "Why NOT the New?" It offers to explain why the Traditional Latin Mass (now commonly known as the Extraordinary Form [EF]) must in all ways be preferred to what is referred as the New Mass (the Ordinary Form [OF]).
Having read this objections, I wish to give answer to them. They can be said to be in four categories: valid objections; valid objections to invalid liturgy (that is, an opposition to something the OF is in itself opposed to); invalid objections; and finally logical fallacies. I will address each issue in a single post with no fixed schedule.
I will attempt in all things to provide sources for my position. If I cannot find the source but remember encountering it before, I will say so, with the caveat that one may trust that information insofar as they feel able to trust me.
