text: Much as I enjoyed all the wailing and gnashing of teeth in this comment thread, the lamenting is totally unfounded. I'm not yet 30 and I'm of Anglo and Indonesian descent in equal parts, so not only am I too young to have grown up "pre-Vatican II", I probably have more Islam in my family history than Catholicism.... and yet, I love the traditional Latin Mass.  As an instituted acolyte, I frequently assist at solemn high Mass in the role of subdeacon despite being married with children, and I hope to continue to assist in the old rite if God wills me to advance to the so-called "permanent" diaconate. I also manage my own men's schola for Gregorian chant, which sings for Masses in both the Ordinary and Extraordinary Form. Most of my chanters are under 30. We are the future of the Church.
