[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I wish all the anti Vatican II people would form their own separate church and they can even name their own pope if they want.

The Holy Spirit has moved within the church in the selection of this pope. If the people who want to turn back the church to pre Vatican II times are not happy with that message, they  could split off and form a church that harkens back to an earlier era that they prefer. [/quote]

For the most part, these people are not anti Vatican II people. They just want to celebrate mass and the sacraments according to the Latin Roman rite used until 1962 or so. The Church already accommodates many different liturgical rites, so it would be natural to ask [b]why not this rite too.[/b][/quote]

Because there was a specific purpose for moving towards the vernacular Mass, and celebrating the Latin Rite communicates some degree of opposition to that purpose.[/quote]

And yet, Syriac Catholics have always celebrated their mass in Syriac, the dialect of Aramaic the Jesus spoke, even though most congregations are in areas where Syriac has not been spoken for hundreds of years.

So whatever this purpose was, which you have not explained, it somehow was not intended for them but for all other Catholics. Or should the Vatican force them to worship in Arabic?[/quote]
