It's funny I think of Tridentine Mass as High Mass lol. Interesting enough I just came from a Roman Mass and it was done mostly in English. However the Kyrie was in the traditional Greek and both the Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy God...) and the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) were in Latin. And I think that the liturgical language should be either Greek or the vernacular. I understand that Latin has great meaning to the Latin Rite, but I see no reason why Roman Catholics in say the USA should be celebrating Mass based on Latin. Greek at least is the language of scripture. (yes I know that the Tanakh?, correct if wrong aephi, is written in Hebrew and Aramaic, but the Septuagint which was used by the Early Church and even Jews of the time was in Greek) Ideally honestly I would love to see the RC church go the way of the Anglican Communion and Eastern Orthodox, having many provinces (Anglican term) which acknowledge one person as Primus. But I doubt that will happen at all, much less in my time.
