The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a good read in seeing Passion of our Lord with Catherine Emmerich's account. The book is currently on sale for the month of March 2022 in Tan Books for $5 if anyone wants to buy it. https://tanbooks.com/products/books/become-a-saint/jesus-christ/the-dolorous-passion-of-our-lord-jesus-christ-from-the-visions-of-anne-catherine-emmerich/

"2) those that say people are "too attached" to the TLM: The person's understanding of the faith has nothing to do with the mass itself. " Yes, the TLM is objectively good and holy.

"The reauthorization of the Tridentine Mass is often interpreted primarily as a concession to the Society of St. Pius X. That is just absolutely false! It was important for me that the Church is one with herself inwardly, with her own past; that what was previously holy to her is not somehow wrong now." - Benedict XVI "What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.” - Benedict XVI

lol, when does it get hard for you? I'm currently taking an intro to ecclesiastical Latin course and I am on unit 3. I think it may get more difficult soon.

@Br. Anthony (Phil) Very helpful!

Looks interesting. Thanks for the info!

More resources on "Why Latin."

I like the third point you made. The use of the TLM is very pious. But not only does the use of the TLM pertains to the virtue of piety, but faith and humility as well. Faith because how you pray is how you believe and the fact that this mass can be traced back to the Church Fathers and the apostles. Humility because it doesn't encourage innovation, but rather, the TLM I think is a mass for all the ages to come.

Here is one reason why for Latin: "The use of the Latin language, customary in a considerable portion of the Church, is a manifest and beautiful sign of unity, as well as an effective antidote for corruption of doctrinal truth." - Pope Pius XII (section 60, Mediator Dei)

"I like it better" or its objectively more beautiful?

What did you got from the book, Franciscan Perfection?

Thanks for sharing this organization.

It is something to consider doing. I'm against modernism but am not ready to take an oath without more understanding of what it entails.

Thank you for the links.

You can probably buy a computer that doesn't cost much to pay for bills online.

Praying for her.

Thanks for the link. I wish I could preview some of these books though like the Cornelius Lapide Scriture or Haydock Douay-Rheims Bible. Also, the books there seem to be for the serious theologians.

That would be good. I would like to know his thoughts in that regard.
