My vote was a maybe. My husband is a convert of 1 year and we have a Latin Mass 50 minutes away. When I asked him if we could attend once in a while, he said I could if I wanted

. So I guess that is a no for now. Yo never know what will happen in the future,

I put maybe because we live an hour away from the nearest parish. Somehow I doubt if an indult would extend to our "station church" out here in the mountains. There is a weekly service but sometimes it has to be a communion service because of not enough priests. We already have a Tridentine Mass weekly down in "town" but it's 60 miles away so we attend only a couple of times a year.

I love the Latin Mass though and if circumstances were different I would choose it in a heartbeat and so would most of my family.

I voted maybe because I have only attended a Latin Mass once. I loved the prayers which we were able to follow in English in a booklet. The words were sublime and the reverence was tangible. This was a long time ago and I don't remember exactly but I think that it was a NO mass in Latin. I think I wouldn't mind that but I don't think I would like to go back to a pre-Vatican II mass.
I wonder what kind of effect going back to Latin being prevalent in mass would have. I wonder if people would feel that they can't relate to the mass. We, in the homeschooling world, seem to be more used to Latin. I wonder if Catholic education would have to change in order for the coming generations could relate to a Latin mass.
Our parish is not a liberal parish. We don't see the abuses that some of you have experienced. The only thing I hate about our parish is the music-I dislike when they change the words of the songs to use inclusive language. Thank God they don't use inclusive language in the mass itself.
I am rambling so I'll stop now,
