Visitors ask..."What is it like to attend a Traditional Latin Mass?"

From time to time, I receive a comment asking, " why the Latin Mass? " or words to that effect. I have also been approached by those who simply ask, "What's it like?" How does one answer that? The blog, " Mulier Fortis ", has done all of us a favor by producing a helpful "pocket guide" that indicates/reveals the rather overt differences between the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms. She called her post, " The Laywoman's Guide To The Usus Antiquior . " It should not be construed as applying only to women! I must say, it is remarkably helpful. I'd bookmark this one especially for those near a college campus who have been asked the questions I mentioned above. One might respond, "read Mac's post!"
