Traditional Latin Mass in the Philippines

Carlos Antonio Palad created a partial list of Philippine churches that are currently offering the Traditional Latin Mass or Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. His post can be viewed in Rorate Caeli.
Most of these Masses are made possible through Pope Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum.


The said list is posted in this blog's sidebar.

  1. This list is indeed helpful. I had likewise included it as a page in my blog Ex Fide in Fidem.. But I reckon some updates are forthcoming so let's all stay tuned.

  3. Sir, I believe this "Tridentine Mass" is just old wine in a new
    bottle. The fad begins once again "oh cool, it's Latin and the priest
    faces the altar". "Tridentine" is the new buzzword of the day just
    like Zagu, Havaiiannas, FIFA Lanyards, Tiendensitas or whatever the
    eff Filipinos think make them "cool". Uy may "Tridentine" ako will
    sound like "I have new Havaiianas". What a laugh sir. "Religious but
    NOT spiritual", that's what Filipinos are. RP boasts of being the
    "Only Christian Country in Asia" but are always on the top of the list
    among the most corrupt and backward countries this side of the world.

    The Catholic Church keeps getting on their high horse, beating their
    chests against the Government's population control programs when in
    fairness to the government, they are just doing their jobs of
    REMEDIATING THE CHURCH'S FAILURES.

    1. The Church has FAILED in convincing people that fornicating is bad
    and impractical so kids keep knocking up their girlfriends and have
    babies when they are not yet ready. You would then suggest abortion to
    these soon to be parents but they will refuse and the reason of course
    would be "It is against the word of God". It does not make sense to
    hear a religious based reason from them because... If fornicating was
    OK with them then, then abortion should be OK for them now! It's all
    or nothing, you either believe in God or you don't! If you fornicate,
    you did not believe in God so who should you do so now that an
    abortion is an imperative?

    2. The Church is not making any sense in discouraging other forms of
    birth control (that are more effective and simpler for the masses) and
    having these people have so many kids. Just tune in to shows like
    Wowowee and you will see contestants there telling their sob stories
    of how they work as a street sweeper, her husband is jobless and they
    have 11 kids! That was from an actual show. The people around me felt
    so sorry for her (awww kawawa naman siya) but I did not. She was
    irresponsible, and she is getting what she deserves. People like her
    are the reason that birth control should be urgently promoted and even
    enforced like in the People's Republic of China. Population count and
    density is rapidly increasing that we cannot have this church creating
    nuisances that make it difficult for the government to achieve
    population control success. Not to mention, those people best not
    continue polluting the already murky Filipino gene pool.

    So, if the Church wants the government to stop promoting birth
    control, then they should take out their marketing hats and
    successfully convince people that underage/pre-marital sex is bad and
    that people who could not afford babies should not have any or an
    excess of what they can support.
