Random Liturgical Musings 1

Since coming to the Latin mass I have been overwhelmed by just how well it embodies the four philosophical transcendentals (unity, truth, goodness and beauty) not to mention the four marks of the Church (unity, sanctity, catholicity and apostolicity). This is not to say that the 'Novus Ordo' does not embody them but only that in the Latin mass their concomitance is clearly visible.

Now before anyone out there decides to give me a verbal bashing for being against the Novus Ordo, let me make it clear that I can afford to make such a comparison because I serve both rites and therefore have an insiders view of what takes place on the sanctuary.
