I've heard rumors of this and was wondering when a thread was going to come up about it.
If the Latin Mass is completely banned, that might be the end of me considering Catholicism. I greatly admire many things about the Catholic Church: it has apostolic succession, it has produced some of the greatest theologians who have ever lived, it has held strong against the world on the issues of contraception and remarriage and clerical celibacy, and it has a rich, detailed history of both scholastic theology and popular piety. But I don't think I could reconcile the Guitar Mass becoming the one and only form, and an outright ban of a form that is objectively more reverent, with the Catholic Church being the true Church.
And that would be terrible. I really like Catholicism. I got a 1962 daily missal this past Sunday and have been reading through it in my spare time. The text of the Mass, the accompanying text explaining the importance of the liturgy in our lives and the purpose of the various parts of the liturgical year, really feels like the people who wrote it, and the people it was written for, took their faith seriously. And when I go to a TLM, I see that the people there do take their faith seriously. They arrive early, they pray in the pews, the priest holds confession before every Mass, mortal sin is actually mentioned, people have large families, they dress appropriately for church, and above all they actually seem to care about being there.
When I go to a Novus Ordo, people clearly don't; they show up late in hoodies and jeans, they're distracted and talking to each other throughout the service, they don't kneel at the consecration of the Eucharist, and they leave early. Confession is held on Wednesday and Saturday for three hours total. Every Mass, without fail, the army of EMHCs makes sure people get through the drudgery they must think Holy Communion is in three minutes flat - one week the priest even apologized because there weren't the "usual number of EMHCs" because one couldn't make it. Kind of defeats the purpose of them being called "extraordinary" when the only thing extraordinary about them is when they aren't there.
But more than all that, I do believe what Pope Benedict XVI said, that "what earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful." I don't see how I could square that with a proclamation from Pope Francis that contradicts it.
