“The Mass in Latin” phrase speaks to both the abject ignorance of NO folks and the hubris of the clergy.
“You could say the NO in Latin” ……. Wow! Lipstick on a pig.
As any Catholic with half a brain knows the TLM’s orientation is vertical. To God. It’s the offering of the Son to the Father. A sacrifice.
The NO? What can you say…..? It’s a communal meal. No offertory. No sacrifice. Sometimes a hootenanny. Is it even a valid consecration?
That’s it. The mass of Martin Luther. And in Latin it’s still the mass of Martin Luther.
To the Dystopian Synodal church……”Thanks but no thanks. We aren’t all idiots”
