Why we LOVE the Latin Mass w/ Jacob Imam

Jacob Imam and I are not what is described as “trads” and neither of us attends the Latin Mass on a regular basis, but we LOVE the reverence and beauty of the Latin, or Tridentine, Mass. In light of Pope Francis’ “Traditionis Custodes,” we flesh out 7 reasons why the Latin Mass is truly extraordinary.

A few of the 7 reasons are:

The primacy of the Eucharistic sacrificeThe quality of the homiliesThe formality of the mass and attendeesThe beauty of the Latin language and music
…and 3 more!

BONUS: A Catholic Response to Pride Month

I felt it was important to record this video. This is airing in the middle of Pride Month, and Catholics need to have the courage to stand up for Church teaching and state that they cannot support Pride Month.

Now to be clear: the Church does NOT say we should hate people who experience same-sex attraction. It DOES say that we ought to treat them with respect and compassion. But that does NOT mean we can say their actions themselves are properly ordered.

So first we’re going to take a quick look at what the Catechism actually says about this topic. Then I’ll offer you some hope by showing you messages from bishops who are publicly taking a stance for the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexuality.
