Though too late for my planning, I just found this announcement of an upcoming traditional liturgical conference especially catering to priests. Looks very good! Hope they do it next year too. This year's conference in Herzogenrath, Germany is Cologne's 14th such conference.Did you know that there is a Traditional (Extraordinary Form) Trappist Monastery, also in Germany? Check it out. They went back to their (our) traditional form with the Motu Proprio! God bless them. Would that some American Trappists might get the same idea.
It is a wonder to me and a liturgical and monastic tragedy that they all just threw away their Latin liturgical treasures with Concilium, against the express directives of Vatican II! Perhaps some of the dying monasteries in America might reconsider that mistake and recover this Catholic monastic patrimony-- and thereby get many young and zealous vocations with this timely reform.
Will the Trappists of the "stricter" observance (viz. more loyal to the liturgical past and to the present Magisterium of the Holy Father Benedict) please stand up!!!
Meanwhile, it looks like we need to brush up on our "Deutsches sprache!"
Kreuz.net mentioned the upcoming conference in June.
