Mater Dei Latin Mass Community
"In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. 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. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church's faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place." --Pope Benedict XVI, Excerpt from the Accompanying Letter to the Summorum Pontificum
