The Ancient Mass

Again, I'm just a guy in the pews, but it's obvious that the Latin Mass is truth and beauty and that the Novus Ordo Mass is worse than a watered down version of the Latin Mass. As others have said, the Latin Mass is the Mass of the ages that has developed organically since the 6th and 7th centuries and formally authorized by Pope Pius 5th in 1570. Then in one swoop, enemies of the Catholic Church hijacked Vatican II and brought about the Mass we have today. So the Latin Mass developed organically from the 6th century was kicked to the curb in favor of a modernistic "Mass" developed by heretics during a highjacking when the Pope, Pope Paul VI was not strong enough to stop it. It was a crime, the Latin Mass continues to be the true Mass, though the Novus Ordo is legit where the transubstantiation still happens.
The Catholic Church has declined by every measure since Vatican II. The only place where the Catholic Church is thriving is with their Latin Mass. Common sense says a return to the Latin Mass is the answer, but, as the saying goes, common sense is not that common. And there are still leftist anti-Catholic forces infesting the hierarchy who don't want to admit that they were wrong.
Christ promised that the "gates of hell would not prevail" against the Church he founded on the Rock. The past 60 plus years have been a great time of darkness for the Catholic Church though, it is hoped that sanity prevails.
A good book where younger people tell how the Latin Mass has been a positive influence on their lives is: Ever Ancient, Ever New, Why Younger Generations Are Embracing Traditional Catholicism, edited by David Dashiell.
