This is my first post to Stirpes. I am an American and was raised with the mass of Paul VI. I've only been to two Tridentine masses and I liked it alot. Based on conversations with my dad, who was raised before the change, I've always thought the Tridentine form should have been kept. However, I don't think the status quo is necessarily bad. The theology of the mass of Paul VI is exactly the same as the theology behind the Tridentine form. I prefer to use the term mass of Paul VI instead of "novus ordo" because novus ordo is not an official term for the mass.
