Why didn't the Catholic church continue having ONE traditional Latin mass every week at every church?
A traditional Latin Mass Church closed near where I live-it is the only Catholic church in the area to close recently. I was thinking why every church didn't continue having ONE Latin mass a week (or two weeks) after vatican II, because if it had any value that would have been better than making it an all or nothing choice.

I'm Catholic and you know what? Eastern Christians never celebrate the Divine Liturgy (the equivalnet of the Catholic Mass) more than once a day. Why? The Last Supper wasn't celebrated twice. To the Eastern Chrisitans, the multiple Masses held on Sundays and the idea of "superCatholics" wandering all over town on a Sunday to catch more than one Mass (and partake of the Body and Blood of Christ more than once in a day's time) is Christianity in very bad form. Such practices make no distinction between the sacred and the profane

if you get enough people to ask for a latin mass the priests are free to celebrate it . many churches are now doing this
