The Latin mass represents tradition and reverence. If the damn liturgists had allowed reverence in the English mass, along with hymns that praised God instead of praising ourselves, you wouldn't have a lot of the most pious Catholics joining the local Protestant churches or the Pius X organization. In Asia and Africa, there is less call for the mass, because the cultures are different. I prefer mass in Tagalog and so I doubt we'll change. The irony is that the middle management yuppies who claim to represent "vatican II" never read the actual articles, and merely infused 1970's fads into the church. The JPII generation of kids see them as "out of date".
