Simply, the extraordinary way is and always will be better. fr saenz
It reminds me of the old hefty bag commercial. "wimpy,wimpy,wimpy,HEFTY,HEFTY,HEFTY"
Why must there be any division when it comes to Mass? I prefer, and always will, the perfectly fine "ordinary".
I guess that just makes me the odd person out here. I'm glad for the option of choice.
DRat...I forgot to sign that comment above...
Sorka the Ordinary.
Neither.
The proper rite is the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.
The Divine Liturgy is beautiful also.
