Dear Michael,
Apart from a name, we share our passion for Catholic faith. I loved your father’s history. Viet Nam is surely one of the darkest wars in our recent history and in America’s cesarism, that is a Democracy that favours the Military as the protectors of the Nation, like any great Empire, Vietnam is the meaning of defeat, of a national defeat.
I for myself, being only 24, can’t have the whole picture in mind, but I guess to speak of these issues helps. It helps the ones that, like for Father, were there, and maybe found or lost faith in their darkest hour. And it helps us, the younger, to understand that will and determination can be crushed over the realism of facts. That’s why I thank you for this.
I’d also like you to comment about the recent Motu Propio, ‘Summorum Pontificum’, by which His Holiness Benedict XVI has liberated the use of the Tridentine mass. I know in America several priestly order have seen the number of followers of that rite come back in Church. It’s happened here in Spain, too. Some priests of the ‘Kumbaya generation’ are skeptical, but many young people have discovered the beauty of this mass, and I can put myself as an example.
What are your views on this issue?
Thank you,
Miguel.

Thanks for your comments. I sent them to my Dad. He seemed touched. I think the fact that his story has reached and touched others means a lot to him.
On the questions of the Tridentine Mass. I’ll address that in my next cast.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Michael
