Okay, I admit the language of this blog is pretty provocative. But if we distill it I think the point is still noteworthy...

New York Daily News reported that the fifty year-old Novus Ordo Mass is destroying the Catholic Church in America "since the 1960s, Mass attendance has plummeted, from around 70% of U.S. Catholics every Sunday and Holy Day."

Ironically, however, the anti-Latin Mass Francis has inadvertently caused "a counterrevolution of sorts" that may overthrow the Novus Ordo Mass:

"Fifty years ago this weekend, the Catholic Church debuted a new version of Mass following reforms made by the 1960s’ Second Vatican Council. From the use of vernacular language instead of Latin, to the priest facing the people instead of the tabernacle, the changes became mandatory at all parishes on the First Sunday of Advent 1969."​
