Talking about Traditional Catholicism on YouTube

Untraditional Me

For me, growing up in the sixties and seventies, the world seemed both mysterious and expansive. The New Age and occult was central to this world view but there were a lot of other things that went along with it, like feminism and leftwing politics and Vatican 2, that I didn’t really question – until recently.

Having originally converted to Catholicism in the 1990s (and then reconverted two years ago) I have always felt like the Novos Ordo (lit. new order) Mass WAS traditional. And I probably would have gone on thinking that way, if not for my experience during the Latin portion of a webinar deliverance prayer session performed by Catholic exorcist Monsignor Stephen Rossetti.

That webinar helped me realize that Latin is unusually effective in spiritual warfare. Which got me thinking.

I began to wonder why Latin and the Traditional Latin Mass are becoming more and more restricted. I began to look into Traditional Latin Masses (TLM) in my area. I was encouraged when one of my YouTube subscribers shared her experience with TLM and praying in Latin.

Providentially, I learned that there are two TLM churches in my area. One of which I can walk to.

Where I’m at Now

In some ways, I’m still straddling the line between traditionalism and the contemporary worldview. I do not necessarily agree with the traditionalists in every instance. And I’m not completely comfortable with the idea of going to a TLM during the COVID spike that’s plaguing our county.

But I am headed, it seems, in that general direction. And in the interim I’m studying Latin and learning the Mass and just beginning to consider that I have been more wrong, in more ways, then I had previously realized.

My prayer for the last several weeks has been to be better conformed to God’s will. And so, with that in mind, I’m not formally committing to anything. But when COVID lets up a bit, I’m going to walk down the street and attend our local TLM and see where that takes me

I feel like this is less a testament to my work et I feel like this is less a testament to my work ethic than an indication of how much time I spend  avoiding writing. But it's nice that I got it just as I finished my keeper book cover.
O God, who on this day didst manifest Thine only-b O God, who on this day didst manifest Thine only-begotten Son to the Gentiles by the guidance of a star: graciously grant that we, who know Thee now by faith, may be led even to contemplate the beauty of Thy majesty.

—Collect for the Mass of Epiphany
