I would guess that 99%+ of lay Catholics, and readers of NCR, have no interest in these debates between Latin Mass aficionados and aficionados of the post-Vatican II Mass in the vernacular that MSW seems so fixated upon. It's just not something we ever think about. Whatever type of Mass people want to go to, let them go to it. The divisions between conservatives and liberals in the church are not based on this question but run deeper than this and the Mass question is largely just an outlet for these deeper divisions. Also, to some extent this feels like a generational issue. For most of us post-baby boomers, this feels like an argument we walked in on, don't fully understand, and don't care about. I would guess most boomers also feel this way. Let's just all try to do better to get along. Latin Mass devotees should reach out and befriend a vernacular Mass devotee and vice versa. The polarization in our country is promoted in our church by articles like this.
