Blogger, RCA Victor (USA) writes... "...I’d like to discuss how traditional Catholics (i.e. Catholics) can speak convincingly (not to mention charitably and patiently) to “mainstream” Catholics about why the Novus Ordo is a poverty-stricken, basically anti-Catholic liturgy that should be shunned.

Editor writes... I've met a few people recently who have either returned to attending the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM) on Sundays - due to problems with the location of the various Traditional Latin Masses (TLM) - OR who like to attend both the old and the new Masses, interchangeably, in some cases because they don't...
