Sacrosanctum Concilium, 4 December, 1963
54. A suitable place may be allotted to the vernacular in Masses which are celebrated with the people, especially in the readings and "the common prayer," and also, as local conditions may warrant, in those parts which pertain to the people, according to the rules laid down in Article 36 of this Constitution.
Nevertheless care must be taken to ensure that the faithful may also be able to say or sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.
Under the tab entitled "Schismatic Churches" found on the list of parishes for the Diocese of Orlando, the SSPX chapel, St. Thomas More, is not mentioned.
These facts would lead me to believe that even the Vatican II Church thinks all priest should be able to say Mass in Latin, at least when there is no congregation, and all Catholics should already know the responses in Latin, e.g. Deo gratias, laus tibi Christi, etc.
AND the SSPX may not be schismatic after all...
