Yes,
that's 99 percent of US Traditional Latin Mass Catholics attend Mass
every Sunday while on 22 percent of the Novus Ordo crowd do. This was reported here at OnePeterFive. The original Liturgy Guy article is here. Both sites are great; I highly recommend them.
More stats here:
The findings on key questions were informative:
- 2% of TLM-attending Catholics approved of contraception vs. 89% of NOM Catholics.
- 1% of TLM Catholics approved of abortion compared to 51% of NOM attendees.
- 99% of TLM Catholics said they attend Mass weekly vs. 22% of NOM.
- 2% of TLM goers approved of “gay marriage” as opposed to 67% of NOM.
Another excerpt:
As the study authors state in their analysis, the differences between the two groups were “dramatic when comparing beliefs, church attendance, monetary generosity, and fertility rates.”
The initial survey, conducted over a number of months in 2018, was brief, but Fr. Kloster intends to engage in the study of additional topics in his next survey — such as propensity toward vocations — which he intends to launch this year.
The findings will likely come as little surprise to Catholics who regularly attend Mass at TLM chapels across the country. They indicate that these chapels are fertile ground for Catholic orthodoxy, large families, and an authentic practice of the faith and will continue to provide growth and nourishment to the Church for the foreseeable future.
Pass this on on, if you would.
