Greetings, parish orphans and retrogrades. Today I come to you with a topical show that you

probably associate with this channel as a kind of brand namesake. Why in the world, and there are a million

good answers to this, do young Catholics love the old mass so much, the old liturgy, Usis Antiquior? Why do they,

conversely, dislike the new stuff, the new culture, the new language, the vernacular, the new

mass, novice ordo cyclorum, whatever so much? Here with me today to make an answer, an attempt at an answer at this question,

is Mr. David DeShiel, who is among theology master's degree. He's an editor out of Nashville,

Tennessee, and he's a young guy with a lot of talent, and we're going to talk about a project that we just worked on together.

A couple minutes in, but for now, David, thanks for joining Rules for Retrogrades today.

Thanks for having me. Good to be here, Tim.

Yeah, it's great to see you, man.

We've worked together, of course, but this is the first full interview.

So just as a kind of shot across the bow, David,

will you tell my listeners out there, my viewers, the retrogrades and parish orphans,

why is it that they, 99% of them anyway, love tradition? They as young people, and by young,

we're stretching the term because I, you know, I'm fitting myself in young people, and by young, we're stretching the term because

I, you know, I'm fitting myself in this category and as young as a lot of people think.

Why do all of us love tradition so much? A lot of times you know and love something without

knowing why you love it. Right. Sure. Yeah, I think, I think it's two reasons. I think one, it makes sense and two, it's attractive. So it makes sense of worship. We all know the point of the mass. The point of the mass is to worship God. And when you go to a Latin mass, whether it's the lower high mass, you can tell that that's what everybody's oriented toward physically. You know, their bodies are all turned

the same way. And then you've got bells. You've got incense. You have a solemnity about the Eucharistic

prayer. It's all very silent. That sort of a thing. So you can tell that something important is going on,

even if you don't realize exactly what it is. And it just makes sense that we would worship the Lord

in a way that speaks of reverence
