The Mass is the Mass

As some of you know, I'm a convert, having come to the Catholic Church at the age of 18, via a pseudo-Catholic cult. Finding my way back to the real Fold was an interesting journey.

Along the way, I acquired some ideas that I no longer hold. One of those was the concept that the new Mass (changed in the sixties) was inferior, and worse, not good and something to avoid attending at all costs.

I don't believe that anymore, and I am so delighted now - every time I am able to attend either the traditional Mass or the mainstream Mass (sometimes called the "new Mass").

So when I read this blog post tonight at Venite Missa Est, I really enjoyed it. You can read it here (scroll down to In Defense of Novus Ordo Missae).
