Ever since Vatican 2 in1970 church attendance has fallen off a cliff.

TLM is the only mass where church attendance is actually going up specifically in the youth.

When they got rid of the gregorian chants and the mass done in latin they ended 1500 years of tradition

Vatican 2 was done in good faith but the outcome has been disastrous for church attendance

If church attendance is growing with TLM and church attendance declined with vatican 2 it should tell you everything you need to know about the unintended consequences

Personally the difference between TLM and the new mass is night and day in terms of experience and spiritual impact for me.

I’m assuming other people feel the same hence why attendance is growing with TLM and declining with new mass

Thanks for the answer. I'm not Catholic but I think I'll attend a TLM and experience it for myself.

It's indeed a world of difference. The TLM is very prayerful, is very reverent, is very noble.

Through its liturgy, it encourages rather than discourages belief in the Real Presence of the Eucharist.
