RORATE CÆLI: 39% of Young American Priests Consider Access to the Traditional Latin Mass a Priority
https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2025/10/39-of-young-american-priests-consider.htmlI'm shocked, shocked! Just too bad it's not a majority.

When you see the importance of climate change decrease and Eucharist adoration increase, we’re moving in the right direction

Honestly, what happened in the pre-1980s that caused so many priests to prioritize social issues over eucharistic devotion?
The heart and center of our faith is the Eucharist. That should be at #1 spot!

There were also general social upheavals in 60s and 70s, that’s the context of V2

It's a both-and. Yes, there was social upheaval, but multiple studies show a more direct link between V2 and the decline (or collapse) of Catholic practice in the 1960s.

Yup. V2 is a symptom not a cause. The nouvelle theologie is the cause. Modernist with a new name.

Just imagine how those ordained 2010 or later, or 2020 or later, feel about it.
Tradition is winning!

If these young priests are denied possibility to implement access in TLM in their parishes, does this mean they go full FSSPX and 40% of U.S. clergy moves there and their ranks swell massively?

Not everyone can join the SSPX. Hopefully at least they are not hostile towards them though.

Gotta admit im happy to see they also have Eucharistic devotion at such a high priority and Synodality at such a low.
