By James Bogle, Catholic Herald - The movement for the Latin mass is not a movement of nostalgia by any stretch of the imagination. Nor is it the preserve of eccentrics and oddballs, as some, who ought to know better, continue lamely to claim. These same critics fail to ask the obvious and central question: why does this Roman rite appeal so strongly to so many young people?...
