So what does "Tradition" mean to you? Apparently it means different things to different people. But it need not be confusing. (answer: see I. e. below)

I.  Why the TLM? 

History of the TLM and how do I get started? ...

Persecution of Traditional Catholics goes back in History...

Traditional Catholics open locked doors of church with battering ram so they can have Latin Mass in France, 1987. For context, this Church was bricked up by the local ordinary to prevent the SSPX priest from saying the Vetus Ordo for the glory of God. All this while hundreds sing "Christus Vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat".  Traditional Catholics in France 1987

The current suppression of the TLM during the papacy of Pope Francis and now Pope Leo has evolved over the sixty years, shaped by theological, cultural, and ecclesial shifts. Here's a quick journey through its major turning points:

🕰️ Pre-Vatican II: The Norm

  • The TLM, also known as the Tridentine Mass, was the standard form of Catholic worship from 1570 (after the Council of Trent) until the 1960s.
  • Celebrated entirely in Latin, it emphasized mystery, reverence, and the priest facing the altar (ad orientem), often with minimal lay participation.
  • The Novus Ordo Missae (New Order of the Mass), promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1969, allowed for vernacular languages and simplified many rituals.
  • This shift sparked both enthusiasm and resistance. Some welcomed the accessibility; others mourned the loss of tradition and sacred aesthetics.
  • Traditionalist groups like the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) rejected the new liturgy, leading to schisms and strained relations with Rome.
  • The TLM became a symbol of broader concerns about modernism, doctrinal clarity, and ecclesial authority.
  • Pope Benedict XVI issued this motu proprio to liberalize the celebration of the TLM, calling it the “Extraordinary Form” of the Roman Rite.
  • He emphasized continuity with tradition and hoped it would foster mutual enrichment between the old and new forms.
  • Pope Francis reversed course, restricting the TLM and requiring bishops’ permission for its celebration.
  • He cited concerns about disunity and rejection of Vatican II reforms, prompting backlash from traditionalist communities.
  • With Pope Leo XIV now in office, figures like Cardinal Burke are urging a rollback of restrictions and a return to Benedict’s more permissive stance.
  • The debate has become a flashpoint for deeper questions: What does it mean to be faithful to tradition? Can unity coexist with liturgical diversity?

ii.   Prayers & Devotions

Prayers: 

The 1910 edition of the RACCOLTA/ The Raccolta 1910 edition is collection of indulgenced prayers and good works, translated by Ambrose St. John. All recorded in the Acta Sanctae Sedis, it is a treasury which enrich the spiritual life of Catholics through prayers, historical and biographical material. 


Mariology:

Is Mary as Co-Redemptrix, a dogma?  Or has this terminology fallen off the radar of liturgical time?

MARY AS CO-REDEMPTRIX: here is an excellent article on the topic Mary is Co-Redemptrix from Traditional Catechism.  Note: it is a contentious topic as modernist Catholics seem to have lost this important "deposit of faith" teaching.

-My Opinion Section: As recent as November 2025, the Vatican has come out with a "Doctrinal Note" called Mater Populi Fidelis which Cardinal Fernandez speaks about.  Apparently, as of Nov. 28th, the Vatican has walked back to some degree the original statements. 

Yes, I believe that Mother Mary is the Co-Redemptrix...but that the word co-redemptrix needs defining as Mary is in "co-operation" uniquely with our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  


More Opinions on Mary's titles:

An excerpt from Catholic Answers: But the word “co,” or the prefix “co-” in English can imply equality, and so that’s why it sounds that way. The prefix “co-” comes from the Latin preposition cum, and cum does not necessarily mean “equal.” It can just mean “with,” and that’s the sense that’s in play when Mary is under discussion with respect to the Redeemer. So she’s not equal to Jesus, but she is a woman who cooperates with the Redeemer. She cooperates with God’s plan and her son’s role in it.

Another opinion from Jimmy AkinsIs Mary Co-Redemptrix? Does the Church teach Mary as Co-Redemptrix  or Fr. Chris Alar's Mary: Mother of God, Co-Redemptrix, Co-Mediatrix? discusses the meaning of the prefix "co-" as meaning "equal" or "with". But the word "co-" derives from "cum" in Latin and means "with, together or supporting".  Protestants like to claim that we mean "equal".  There is a reason that Catholic's use Latin as the language of the Church.  If you mean "with", then definitely yes...that is exactly what we mean by "Co-Redemptrix.  Mary gets us to Jesus, who is the real "Redemptor".  The same thing applies to "Co-Mediatrix"....☝👍😇

Devotions:

There are literally hundreds of Catholic devotions. The main intention of a devotion is to honor the Kingship of Our Lord, Jesus Christ and adoring the Precious Blood, to honoring the BVM and or a devotion to a Saint or to the Faithful Departed in purgatory. No matter where an individual's focus lies, there is a devotion.  

We recommend sticking with Traditional Catholic devotions (e.g. traditional Mariology, praying the Rosary; Praying the Divine Office e.g. the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary; initiation to the Brown Scapular (Our Lady of Mt. Carmel or St. Francis); Novenas; Eucharistic adoration; Veneration of the Saints; Processions and joining a religious order. 

Catholic devotions do not end here...here is a great article on how Catholics are to think about this topic Devotions Catholics are Free to Practice (or not)

iii. Catechesis & Formation

Learning the True Catholic Faith and Catholic Teaching 

Knowing the TRADITIONAL CATECHISM is knowing the true Apostolic Faith:

-Traditional Catechism

Tradivox (Bishop Athanasius Schneider)

the Douay Catechism of 1649 (by Henry Tuberville, D.D.)

Fatima: The Complete Catholic Handbook for the Latter Days (Penny Catechism by Burns and Oates 1921)

-not so traditional 2005 version Compendium of JPII 1992 version (updated by Ratzinger in 2005)

-an amazing collection of traditional writings on the Saints and Traditional Catholic Books and prayers: Traditional Catholic (Veritate Ambulare) 


FORMATION: THROUGH THE SACRAMENTS

Q. What does the Church say about "Anointing of the Sick"? It is not a Sacrament well taught to the laity as it is typically administered by the Catholic Priest. However, here are some important data on the subject....

The Sacrament of Extreme Unction

Q. What is the "Apostolic Pardon"?  It forgives temporal punishment due to sins (not the sins themselves), for anything for which we have not done adequate penance in this life.  It is often given after the conferral of the Sacrament of Penance, the Anointing of the Sick and Viaticum.  

Q. But what if a Priest is not available for a Dying person, can they still receive an "Apostolic Pardon"?  Yes or No?   

A. Patrick Madrid says the pardon must be done by a priest...Here's what you should know about the Apostolic Pardon for the Dying 

A. CNA says Reception of Sacraments by a Person in Danger of Death

A. ***SimplyCatholic.com says "Yes", if no priest is available through "articulo mortis"...What is The Apostolic Pardon by Msgr Charles Pope


Q. What does the Church say about "Penance"?  The Sacrament of Penance (Confession)

Are you called to Franciscan Order?

It is one of the largest and most influential religious orders in the Roman Catholic Church.  It was established around 1209 by St. Francis of Assisi upon receiving papal approval from Pope Innocent III for form a community dedicated to preaching and living the Gospel in total poverty.  The order emphasizes simplicity, charity and a deep connection to creation, reflecting St. Francis's teachings and lifestyle.
