Catholicism as it should be

From California Catholic Daily we read of an Oakland priest, Fr. Michael K. Wiener, a priest of the Institute of Christ the Sovereign Priest, who has received “several requests, in the Bay Area, from priests who would like to learn to celebrate the [Tridentine] Mass.”

[Fr.] Wiener said he prefers saying the Tridentine Mass “because it links us to the history of man, so to say. For many, many centuries, this Mass was celebrated and sanctified people, and it has brought about many saints. All this has developed slowly and organically over the centuries, and is therefore a joy to celebrate. In German, we’d describe it as ‘Gesamtkunstwerk,’ which means a piece of art that expresses an idea in a very complete way.”
