Yeah, I get it. We drive about an hour for ours, which really carves out the Sabbath for us, as we can’t do much else on Sunday.

Liturgically, one might concede that the NO Mass is a skeleton of the Tridentine rite. But that’s where the similarities end imho.

I do enjoy and appreciate your work.God Bless you.

I go the TLM when possible. It's difficult because it's over an hour drive for me and my schedule is hectic. I actually prefer the TLM, which is why the TLM readings are first in my Sunday Sermons.

Sorry, that wasn’t a charitable assumption.

It’s quite different, and quite Catholic, eh?

Asperges, Introit, gradual, secrets, incensing, leonine prayers, second Gospel...love you brother, but come on!

Yes I know all that. Can you admit there are similar structures?

Now, how about Tridentine Rite?

Aww man! I just got this one done!

I did the Novus Ordo because that's going to be 90-95% of the Masses that new people will experience. For those interested in the Tridentine Rite, it is similar in structure. There is one less reading in the TLM, and more prayers in the TLM. But the overall structure is pretty similar.
