New Poll on the Traditional Latin Mass

From The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University:

Three in ten Catholics who do not “oppose” bringing back the Latin Mass say they would attend such a Latin Mass if it was readily available at convenient times and locations. This is equivalent to about one in ten adult Catholics (11 percent overall) or approximately 5.7 million individuals.

If the Latin Tridentine Mass were made readily available at convenient times and locations, and you were able to attend, would you?
Respondents who “Favor” or have “No opinion” about easing restrictions on the Latin Tridentine Mass

Yes: 29%
No: 25%
No opinion: 46%

Among those who do not oppose the return of the Latin Mass, interest in attending a Latin Mass is more likely among frequent Mass attendees. More than four in ten of these respondents, who attend Mass at least once a month, say they would attend a Latin Mass if it was available.
