Since then, I had been attending every Sunday. I only hope that more young people would discover the beauty and spirituality of the Traditional Mass.<BR/><BR/>I hope also that the FSSP will be welcome here now that we have the MP.<BR/><BR/>Yes, may the Classical Mass increase.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>GeraldGeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090680129606569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504617.post-37890835085131669342007-07-12T17:44:00.000+08:002007-07-12T17:44:00.000+08:00Gerald,Thank you for your response. As a Filipino,...Gerald,<BR/>Thank you for your response. As a Filipino, I am quite interested in the history and state of the Classical Form (how is that for hybrid) in our country. I have been away for awhile and been following the Tridentine struggle since the 90s through friends.<BR/><BR/>1. Are there monastic/religious orders that are more permissible with the Classical rite?<BR/><BR/>2. Was there a core group in the 70s that wanted to continue the Classical rite<BR/><BR/>As a background, the previous parish I went to was run by Dominicans and located in a non-residential neighborhood (abandonded businesses). The conservative priest during the 70s-80s somehow managed to have the NO in Latin with altarboys, rails, a beautiful freestanding altar, no handshaking for the peace thing. It sustained the Tridentine rite followers until the downtown parish was given for the Tridentine rite. It is the same situation today except now the neighborhood is trendy and the congregation is young and growing. The Dominicans and the archdiocese have no choice but to continue the set up because it gives one of the biggest donations despite being one of the smallest parishes.<BR/><BR/>I have friends who run through the whole gamut of "traditionalists", from indult parishes, to SSPX, to free standing churches. <BR/><BR/>Since I will be visiting our country more often, I am appreciate your answers. May the classical rite increase (at least to Cebu).<BR/><BR/>sincerely,<BR/>johnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504617.post-4314275437716041062007-07-11T21:58:00.000+08:002007-07-11T21:58:00.000+08:00Hi John,1.
