Missale Romanum Editio iuxta typicam tertiam

For about 1,200 bucks I bought the Missale Romanum and the Lectionarium Series last year, just before the Lectionarium was taken off the menu (out of print, never to return?). Not cheap for a lay Catholic. And since the chance of experiencing a (sung?) Novus Ordo Mass in Latin (including readings, Gregorian Chant,…) is asymptotically approaching zero (hope not dying?), owning these books is akin to having a brand new Ferrari sitting in the Garage, which one never can take out on the street (’cause I am not a priest). But one can smell it, touch it, sit in it, turn on the radio, lean back, rev the engine and imagine how it would feel to actually drive it. And so I am praying the Holy Mass in my Inner Room in Latin and imagine away… 🙂 These books are really of the highest quality! All senses fire here – smell, touch, look and feel. I can nothing but recommend them and am glad I had the chance to buy them. A big thanks to you, MTF, because… talk about counter cultural. One side considers Latin outdated, yesteryear, reactionary, medieval, backwards, and done away with, while the other considers Latin reserved only for the Extraordinary Form of the Mass or Tridentine Mass. So both sides agree – VII Mass in Latin? Why? And so it shows courage to even consider printing these books in this outstanding quality for a quite small potential customer base. Well, this nerd and weird one here surely appreciates it… 🙂
