(Need I say that I attend these instead of the NO Masses? Although, as has been mentioned above, even the NO Masses are done with what dignity the ritual allows.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-84601178759802595122007-10-19T10:24:00.000-04:002007-10-19T10:24:00.000-04:00Doc Angelicus-I kind of agree with you about the I...Doc Angelicus-<BR/><BR/>I kind of agree with you about the ITI, but remember that in my criteria for what qualified as a place that was influential, I did not specifically mention the TLM, though that obviously is a big part. The criteria were:<BR/><BR/>(a) not just preserved Tradition, but are making efforts to spread it to other places (b) they contribute in someway to either organization, providing resources, training, or information to efforts aimed at restoring Catholic Tradition, and (c) they seem to be gaining momentum/support from the Church and laity alike. <BR/><BR/>BonifaceBonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672810254075072214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-24004507646206475842007-10-19T09:40:00.000-04:002007-10-19T09:40:00.000-04:00Basically, I agree with your assessment. A few po...Basically, I agree with your assessment. A few points about Fourth Place. One, I think there are probably way more colleges and universities in the US to give kudos to. For instance, of all places, Notre Dame has apparently been very responsive to offering the TLM. And I happen to know that the new Wyoming Catholic College will also offer a regular TLM beginning in the next months. Second, while the International Theological Institute is surely THE place on earth "from which the forces of Catholic truth can sally forth and wreak havoc on the secular-liberal barbarians of our time" in terms of is theological curriculum and love of St. Thomas Aquinas, its relationship with the TLM is somewhat overstated here. There hasn't been a TLM at ITI in at least 2 years, not counting an occasional private Mass during the summer by a visiting priest, although there are TLM aficionados among the students and faculty. The Ordinary Form is celebrated with due dignity, chant, and Latin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
