From a reader:

I thought you may be interested to know that our priest, for certain Daily Masses in the Ordinary Form, is using Latin for the majority of the Mass. We use English for the readings, the collect, postcommunion, and a few prayers which the congregation does not know the Latin response to. As far as I know, there has been no negative feedback.

A couple points.

Since Summorum Pontificum I have been worried, and I expressed this worry face to face with the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the former Prefect for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, that Latin would be systematically ghettoized.  ”You want Latin? Go to those people… that parish.”

We need Latin in the NOVUS ORDO.

To anyone who dislikes the new translation: Just Use Latin.  (Then shut up!)

Fathers!  Your Excellencies.  Man up!

Just Use Latin.
