Why Are Seminaries Afraid of the Extraordinary Form (Latin Tridentine Mass)?
"It was the will of the Eternal Father that one universal language be used along with, in comparison with, together with the language of the land. This universal language, Latin, befit and was chosen by the Eternal Father as a universal language for the universal Church, the Roman Catholic Church....” – Our Lady of the Roses, April 10, 1976
TURN BACK
"This evil has penetrated far into the very heart of My House. You must
now turn back and restore My House. I, your God, give you this command for
the salvation of your own soul." - Jesus,
August 21, 1976

By Fr. Christopher Smith
Personal Reflections
I had just entered the seminary when Cardinal Ratzinger’s book, The Spirit of the Liturgy, came out. I had an English copy expressed to me and brought it with me into the chapel as my spiritual reading during our daily community Holy Hour. One of the older men knelt next to me as I was engrossed in Ratzinger’s chapter on Rite and whispered, “Do you want to get kicked out of the seminary? Change the book cover now.” All of my attempts to not publicise the fact that I actually knew the Old Latin Mass had apparently been blown out of the water by this defiant act of wanton schism. Suddenly seminarians began to knock on my door and counsel me how to survive the seminary, and so I exchanged Ignatius Press’ book cover for one entitled “The Pastoral Letters of Paul VI.”
Apparently it was too late. I was a marked man. Not surprisingly, the superiors were made aware of my “problem,” but for the most part, they left me alone. I refused to be duplicitous about my love for the Latin Mass, and I also went along with the liturgical customs of the house without trying to reform or denounce them. I did from to time steal away from the house to go to a Latin Mass, carefully folding my cassock up into my overcoat and hiding my collar with a scarf, feeling all the while a little bit like Superman waiting for a small cubiculum where I could transform into my true self. Only once was I ever “discovered” as I was serving a Low Mass for a Curial prelate in the private chapel of a Roman noble family that was having an annual open house, as it were. Nothing was ever said.
My deacon year, however, I had a very strange experience which made me realize the odd dynamics that are often at work in seminaries when it comes to the Latin Mass. We had a Lenten tradition called “fraternal correction” in which any member of the house could call another member of the house on the floor for anything which he considered wrong. I had escaped four previous Lents without feeling the need to engage any of my brothers in this somewhat contrived version of what we did every day living together, nor having to feel the brunt of someone else’s issues at my expense. Not this time.
One of my confreres came up to me in the magazine room and expressed his concern over the fact that I was a Lefebvrist. My superiors were already content with the fact that I had told them I was more than happy being a priest in the contemporary Church, as she is today and not as she was at some mythical time in the future, so I was rather annoyed at this sincere desire to save me from my own schismatic self. I attempted to try to explain that not everyone who is attached to the pre-Vatican II liturgical tradition is a schismatic, but was apparently unsuccessful. One of my superiors attempted to come to my aid. He said, “You think Christopher is a Lefebvrist because he likes Latin and Gregorian chant. Well, then I am a Lefebvrist too. And so is the Church, because she made it very clear at Vatican II that we were supposed to have Latin and chant in the Mass.”
The problem was that I realized that neither my superior nor my confrere knew who Marcel Lefebvre was, or anything about the genesis and the complicated nature of the traditionalist phenomenon. Neither had any experience of what we called back in the day the Indult Mass, and they would not have known anyone who actually was a priest of the SSPX, if it had not been for one of our alumni who had just jumped ship to them a few years before.
The whole experience left me rather sad. It made me realize that there are many good men in the Church, who are products of and involved in seminary formation who do not understand why anyone, least of all a seminarian, would be interested in the Extraordinary Form. There is no knowledge at all, or only partial circumstantial and anecdotal knowledge, often negative, that they have of others who expressed an interest in that liturgy.
Shortly after the abortive attempt at fraternal correction, I had an exam with a famous Italian liturgist. He was famous for giving everyone perfect scores, and all he asked was that you come in and talk about one chapter from the books he assigned us to read in class. Five minutes, and you were done and had a nice advance on your GPA. There was a chapter in one of his books which compared the Ordinary of the Mass in the older and the newer forms. So I began to talk about that chapter. “How do you know anything about this?” he asked angrily. I replied that it was in the book, and tried to show him where it was in the book that he had told us to read in class, but he would not be moved. And so began a 45 minute oral exam in which he grilled me on everything in the books, which I had studied and knew. I was dismissed from the exam and given a barely passing grade. Imagine my surprise when he showed up at the seminary to give a talk to my class on the liturgical reform. He started off with, “Well, of course, none of you know anything about what the Mass was like before Vatican II.” My class knew about the exam from hell I had just had with him and started snickering. Looking for an answer as to why the giggling, I calmly said, “Well, I actually served the Old Latin Mass this morning before I came to your exam today.”
I would never counsel a seminarian to do the same. Nor do I offer anything I have ever done as a model! But what I gained from that experience was that I could not dispassionately engage a famous liturgist about the Old Mass with something as objective as what the differences are between the two forms.
So in my seminary experience I encountered two phenomena: a lack of knowledge and a positive hatred of one form of the Church’s liturgy. Since then, we have had Ratzinger elected Pope, as well as Summorum pontificum and Universae ecclesiae. The nature of the game has changed, even if there are some who are unwilling to admit it.
Reasons Why Seminaries Should be Afraid of the EF
But a question must be asked: Are there any legitimate reasons why a house of priestly formation should be leery of the EF? As far as most seminaries go, Ecclesia Dei adflicta has not landed, much less Summorum and Universae. The day to day liturgical life of the seminaries has changed very little since Pope Benedict XVI took office, even as seminarians in some parts of the world have done an admirable job of trying to educate themselves about the rite. Some seminaries offer a few Masses a year and some optional training in the old rite, but I am not aware of any diocesan seminary in which it is a normal part of the life.
Much to their credit, seminary rectors and faculty realize that they are preparing their men for ministry in a Church in which they will find a variety of liturgical expressions. Whether that pluralism is always legitimate or not is a good question, but young priests have to be capable of serving in parishes where the Good News of Pope Benedict XVI has not yet reached. Some might be afraid that emphasis on the EF might render them incapable of reaching the people in the pews.
Also, the more that curious seminarians delve into the EF, they will have a lot of questions, not only about the mechanics of the EF but about the whole liturgical reform itself. These are uncomfortable questions, and seminary faculty must have not only a wide learning to answer those questions, but much patience to accompany seminarians through their questioning.
Seminary superiors also are loath to divide the community in any way. There is a fear that encouraging the EF might split seminarians in their fraternity and cause them to break off into cliques of liturgical preference, and that this division would be magnified in parish life. Parishes, rectories, and schools would feel the weight of EF-happy clergy intent on changing how they “have always done” things until the biretta-wearing, Latin-talking upstart comes to town.Seminary staff are also aware that the enthusiasm of youth is often not tempered by the virtue of prudence and seasoned by the practical knowledge that comes with experience in parish ministry. One of the phenomena that has come about is the seminarian who has taught himself all he knows about the EF. The autodidact often knows less than he thinks he does, and, with the best intentions in the world, annoys people unnecessarily. I was reminded of this recently as I was sitting in choir at a EF Solemn Mass. Although the clergy were seated in their proper order, a seminarian spent his whole time fretting about giving the signs to the senior clergy he thought were ignorant of when to sit, stand, bow, and use the biretta. As it happens, he was frequently wrong and I spent the whole Mass distracted by his trying to be a Holy Helper.
Many seminarians have a genuine love of the Old Mass, but the tradition has not been handed down to them in a living organic way. And when one tries to resurrect the tradition by way of books, videos, and self-help, there are too many holes in the fabric to make a rich vesture in which to clothe the Church’s liturgy. As most seminarians’ experience of the liturgy has been more or less exclusively the Ordinary Form, there is also the inescapable temptation to graft a Novus Ordo mentality onto a liturgy whose mens is quite different.
There are not a few people responsible for the formation of priests who see all of the above phenomena and think to themselves, “We don’t want to touch this with a ten foot pole.” And of course, what does a good seminary rector do when he knows that Tradition-unfriendly Bishops will pull their guys out of their seminaries if they begin to teach the EF?
Reasons Why Seminaries Should Welcome the EF
None of the above phenomena, which are real, should impede seminaries from a joyous welcome to the EF within their daily life. By this point, it should be patently obvious to everyone that a significant proportion of the men interested in the seminary are also, if not positively enthusiastic, at least not unfavourable, to the EF. Of course, this is true only in certain countries and in certain regions of those countries. But even where there is little or no interest, there are still reasons why seminaries can welcome the EF.
The most important reason is that the Magisterium has made it very clear that there are two forms of the same Roman Rite and that both are equal in dignity. If all priests of the Latin Rite have the right to celebrate both forms, it follows that seminaries should then form all priests in both forms. Then, they will be ready to fulfill the requests of those faithful who desire the EF and they will broaden their own pastoral horizon.
The enthusiastic welcome of the EF into seminary life will also unmask the tension that has been growing over EF-friendly seminarians in houses of formation. If they are not formed properly in the seminary to be able to offer the EF, many will embark on an auto-didactic parallel formation which will keep their minds, hearts and often their bodies out of the seminary formation environment. When seminarians begin such an autodidactic parallel formation, the tendency is to develop a form of duplicity to be able to engage in such formation. And given the state of the clergy in today’s Church, no seminary can afford to give seminarians a blank check to get their formation elsewhere.
A Plan for Integrating the EF into Seminary Life
But how can the EF be integrated into seminary life? First of all, all of those involved in priestly formation must come to accept what Pope Benedict XVI has done for the Roman liturgy: he has declared that there are two forms of one Roman rite, and every priest has a right to celebrate both. If that is true, the question must be asked: Why is every seminarian in the Latin Rite not trained in both forms? Some seminaries have offered some limited training to those who are interested in it, but that still makes it seem like the EF is a hobby for some priests, or some kind of eccentric movement barely tolerated within the Church, and not of equal value with the OF.
Yet before any seminary can integrate the EF into seminary life, seminaries must offer a comprehensive training in the Latin language and sacred music. These two subjects, which were once part and parcel of every seminary training, have been relegated to a few optional classes in many places, when they should undergird the curriculum.
Many seminaries, in an attempt to prepare their men for the reality of life in the parishes to which they may one day be destined, often offer Spanish Masses or folk Masses or other kinds of “Liturgical Styles” for seminarians to participate in. Whether or not this is a good type of formation is not the scope of this article, but it also brings up a question: If OF and EF are two forms of the Roman Rite existing side-by-side, for the universal Church, how can they not both be celebrated side-by-side in the seminary. For the community Mass of a seminary, one wonders why Low Mass, Dialogue Mass, Sung Mass and Solemn Mass cannot be part of the weekly rotation of types of Masses celebrated in seminary communities.
There are indications that, in many seminaries, the men themselves are pushing their seminary rectors and faculty to recognize the validity and the possibilities of the celebration of both OF and EF in their communities. There is open discussion of this topic, with much less fear than there was in my time, which was not all that long ago. The openness and transparency with which the liturgical questions can be asked, confronted, and resolved bodes well for the future. Far from producing one-sided priests who leave the seminary bitter liturgical Nazis bent on reforming their parishes to their liturgical opinions, the frequent celebration of the EF in seminaries can foster an atmosphere of serene liturgical formation in which men can better appreciate both forms and learn how to more effectively open up the riches of the liturgy for the People of God.
What Can Happen when the EF is integrated into seminary life
I was recently at a Cathedral down South on a weekday and I wanted to celebrate a private Mass. As I was vesting in my Roman chasuble and my altar server, a seminarian, was preparing the altar for my EF Mass on the feast of Saint Dominic, a newly ordained priest was vesting in a Gothic chasuble and a layman was preparing another side altar for his OF Mass on the feast of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney. My newly ordained priest friend has not yet learned the EF, but is interested. We both went to side altars at the same time to offer two forms of the Roman Rite, with clergy, seminarians and laity in attendance. It just kind of happened that way, was something not planned. Later that week, my newly ordained priest friend sat in choir at an EF High Mass that the seminarian and I helped to sing, and I concelebrated the OF in the same Cathedral where he was ordained. The Director of Religious Education for the Cathedral, a young woman theologian and student of liturgy, happened to be present at all of these occasions, and she commented on how, in our own way, we were making real Pope Benedict’s vision of the Roman Rite in two forms. No one was confused, no one was angry, no one was ideologically motivated to criticize the other.
The younger clergy have a tremendous opportunity to be conversant in the two forms of the Roman Rite, and in doing so, build bridges where previous liturgy battles had separated the faithful from each other. Seminary superiors are right to want to avoid at all costs further liturgical polarization in the Church. But continuing to marginalize a form of the Roman Rite which has been restored to its full citizenship within the Church will only continue to polarize people. Giving the EF its due in priestly formation will be the way forward beyond opposing camps into a Church where both forms can co-exist side-by-side in harmony.
"Many now rebel against their leader, their God-given leader, your Vicar. In matters of faith and morals, man must not change the God-given laws, coming from the seat of Peter, and established through tradition upon earth through My Son's Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1979
"Because
of the fall in Babylon,
many new languages were given because of the sin of Babylon.
Therefore, as a member of one country, My children, with a universal language,
you carried with you your own country's translation, and were you to visit
abroad, you could enter upon any foreign edifice, Church of My Son, and feel
comfortable and in one with the man, the priest, the one chosen by My Son to
represent Him in His House.
"If you were, My child, to go from your United States
to France,
could you understand the words in French? But, My child, you would recognize the
words in Latin and you would have your book with you to read in your American
language, just as those in France could read in their French language, bringing
upon the world a beautiful and common bond of language among all who have been
given the grace to be called to the Roman Catholic Church of My Son.
"Do not leave My Son's Church though, My children, because they have taken
this language from among you. You must wait and persevere and weep with My Son
for this defilement by man."

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
YOU WILL STOP EXPERIMENTING
"My child and My children, I come once more with an urgent and pleading
message to the hierarchy in the Church, My Church upon earth. I want you to know
now that We look upon you and find many that do not fall into grace. They are
falling out of grace and misleading many of Our sheep.
"Therefore, I warn you now as your God: You will stop
your intricacies within My Church. You will stop experimenting. I gave you the
rules to follow many years ago, two thousand years approximately. And why now,
two thousand years later, do you deem it necessary to change My Church upon
earth? I, your God, say to you, you will be judged accordingly. You will return
My Church to its former glory, and in that manner you will have more vocations
and more entering the seminaries, and not fleeing from them as they hear the
heresies and all other innovations that are going on within My Church. This is
My last and final word to My clergy: Change now or suffer a just punishment and
banishment." - Jesus, June 18, 1986
RETURN TO YOUR TRADITIONAL RITES
”I send to My clergy, those whom I have given the grace to represent Heaven upon
earth, this warning: You must now return to your traditional rites! You must
restore My House from its crumbling exterior and rotting interior. You must
rebuild what you seek to destroy--now!
"Many who call themselves My chosen ones have set themselves to destroy
from within. Your actions have not gone by unnoticed by the Eternal Father.
Error, deception, deceit, in the guise of sanctity and piousness! You are
unmasked before the Eternal Father. You shall start little by little and repair
the foundation, or you shall be within and destroy.
"I look upon all manner of abominations being committed in My House. Do you
think you will go much longer without chastisement? Awaken from your slumber, My
clergy! You deceive no one!” - Jesus, November 22, 1975
CHANGING THE CONSTRUCTION
“You will not bring about a conversion of those who are presently apostate by
compromising your Faith or changing the construction of the exterior lines of My
Church; and by that I mean the physical appearance and the manner in which you
conduct the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
“Many are giving My Body in a manner that can only be called blasphemy.
Many are accepting My Body in the Eucharist in a manner that defames the
Divinity, and also promotes unholiness, paganism, and impurity of heart and
actions during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.” - Jesus, May 26, 1979
CHANGES MUST BE STOPPED AND REVERSED
"There is no excuse accepted now by the Eternal Father among the clergy, who now
offend the Eternal Father by misleading the children of God upon earth. The
experimentation and changes must be stopped and reversed! There is no other
course.” – Our Lady, August 4, 1979
“RESTORE MY HOUSE!”
"My
Mother has given you My way. It is a simple road that must be followed. The
rules have been given to you that must not be changed, as you cater to the basic
carnal nature of man, a generation that has fallen! You will not make changes
within My House, for you have dispersed My sheep. You will restore My House to
its former glory. Strip you hearts of your pride! Recognize your errors and
restore My House!
"I say this to you for your Creator, as your God: Restore My House, or I
shall come down and restore it Myself with a firm hand! And shall you stand
before Me, O pastors, and say that your teachings have been pure in My sight? I
shall take you and spit you out as spittle into the fires of eternal damnation!
Vermin that came out of the flowers!” – Jesus, December 28, 1976
STOP
CHANGE AND NOVELTY
"My child and My children, make it known to all that the road to Heaven was
never easy, but you can make it much easier upon yourselves and your families if
you follow the rules, if you follow the Commandments from the Eternal Father.
The changes that We see taking place in My House and upon earth are not good,
for many, many souls are falling into hell. And a great measure of
responsibility now is with those who have been called to the holy orders, who
have given themselves to represent Me upon earth. Shall I say that I have found
many Judases now within My House? Cannot this situation be changed?
"There is only one way that this can be stopped, this evil that has seeped
into My House and into the hearts of all mankind. You must stop now your seeking
for change and novelty. You must restore My Church to its former glory. Admit
your error. Do not conceal this with pride and arrogance.
"Remember there was the time when it was necessary to cast Luciel and his
followers from Heaven--Lucifer, who now goads you on to hell with him, upon
earth. He had to be cast from Heaven because he, too, became prideful and
arrogant, seeking to make himself another living god. This cannot be done. You
cannot be above your Creator.” – Jesus, September 7, 1978
DO NOT
ACCEPT
"My children, you must retain Tradition; you must retain a firm foundation of
your faith by keeping all of the good publications. Do not accept the changes
that have been made by satan to seduce your souls.” – Jesus, November 19, 1977
INDOCTRINATED
Veronica - The books are being changed to cover the evil being perpetrated now.
The young are being indoctrinated to accept changes which will take away
Tradition and even doctrine. Our Lady said we must all pray a constant vigilance
of prayer. It has a great power over the demons. –
November 19, 1977
NOT
FROM HOLY SPIRIT
"I must, My child, make it known at this time that you must go back in the
immediate years and bring the knowledge to mankind that these changes, the
changes that have given bad fruits, have not been given to you through the Holy
Spirit and through your Vicar, Pope Paul VI. It is the web of satan reaching
out. Many are now, My child, puppets. The strings are being pulled by Benelli,
Villot, and Casaroli and their followers.” – Our Lady, September 27, 1975
YOU
HAVE STRAYED
"O My children, how far you have strayed from the truth! The knowledge given to
you by your prophets were written down in truth to guide you, but now you change
the words to suit your basic carnal human natures. Go back and read, My
children, the true words of your prophets. But do not accept changes in the
Book, for these changes have been promoted by satan. Heresy, O mournful heresy,
whatever shall become of you!
"Parents, I caution you anew to guard the souls of your children by your
teaching and example. You cannot save your children's souls by giving them to
false teachers and the world, for the world has now been given to satan.” – Our Lady,
June
5, 1976
“WE DO
NOT CONDONE VARIATIONS AND CHANGES"
"It
has grieved Me much in the past, as it grieves Me now, that mankind is making
changes to My words. I assure you, My children and pastors within My houses, My
Church upon earth, there is no necessity to change My words. Heaven, hell,
purgatory, and especially, My children, the word 'hell' must be retained in your
prayers.
"Repeat, My child, the confessional prayer.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I confess to
all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell, but most
of all because I love Thee, my God, Who are all-good and deserving of all my
love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do
penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
"Yes, My child, We do not condone variations and changes. It is the enemies
of your God that have set themselves to promote change upon My words. The word
of your God is eternal and must not be changed.” –
Jesus, February 10, 1977
ONLY
SATAN SEEKS CHANGE
"We
ask--the Eternal Father speaks, and demands that all bishops in the houses of
God throughout your world must turn back to prayer. They must turn back from the
road they have chosen, a road filled with error, corruption, and sin. Man will
not make changes in the House of God to please the basic carnal nature of
mankind! But man in the House of God--the leaders, the clergy chosen by the
Eternal Father, shall turn man from his path of destruction and bring him into
the House of God. This he will not accomplish by lowering the rule or standards.
Man must change his ways and follow the ways of God.
"You are, My children, living in the era of Antichrist. Recognize the signs
of your times, and you will not fall into error. Read the Book, My children. You
read books of corruption and vile debauchery. Restore the truth in your heart,
into your children and homes. Open the good Book, the Bible, and read it in your
homes.
"My Son has already set up the rule for the houses throughout the world,
the churches. They are written in the Book of love and life, the Bible. Read and
learn, and follow the truth!
"There is no time or change in Heaven. The Father never changes. It is only
satan who seeks change to disturb, corrupt, and degrade. Satan roams wherever
there is darkness of spirit. He will debase mankind in a manner so foul that you
will know that no human could conceive of such vileness of sin.” – Our Lady,

Wooden crucifixes adhere better to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $5.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Send $8.00 to TLD Ministries, P.O. Box 40, Lowell, MI 49331. Item # P15 (Order Form)Crucifix on front and back door... The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors."

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises
to help protect our children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an
army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries
of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your
sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use
every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with
obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day
they will understand that they will repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of
these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the
knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard
your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity.
Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your
schools or even false pastors."

Your names have been written in Heaven… "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for your names have been written in Heaven.... But with this great grace you have great responsibility to send this Message from Heaven throughout the world, for if you are able to recover just one more for Heaven, an additional star shall be placed in your crown." - Jesus, August 5, 1975
A great obligation to go forward... "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for it is by merit and the prayers that have risen to Heaven for your salvation. For those who have received the grace to hear the Message from Heaven, you have a great obligation to go forward and bring this Message to your brothers and sisters. Do not expect a rest upon your earth, for you will have eternal rest very soon." - Jesus, June 12, 1976
The sin of omission... "The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell." Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1980
