SEASON 5 | Latin Mass: Trend or Tradition?
Catholics in Ordinary Time
Is there really a surge of Catholics returning to the Latin Mass? Or is the story more complicated than the headlines suggest? In this opening episode of Season 5, Fr. Jack sets the stage for a new series of conversations exploring the Latin Mass. Without diving into debates or taking sides, he reflects on the growing discussion around the Traditional Latin Mass and the claims that more Catholics are turning toward it. He also raises an important question about the data often used to support that narrative and why measuring something like this may not be as straightforward as it seems. This episode serves as an introduction to the season ahead, where we will hear directly from Catholics who attend the Latin Mass and learn about their experiences, their motivations, and what draws them to this form of worship. Sometimes the best way to begin a conversation is simply by asking the right questions.
