But the Pope cannot make one NOT celebrate the Latin
[/ QUOTE ]
This is a purely liturgical and thus a canonical rather than doctrinal matter. Period. And the rubrics state that the Mass may be said in latin or "another approved language". However that does not mean you can use any certain form of the Mass in either language without proper authority. Thus for example, the ancient english Sarum rite is no longer permitted, although an exception was made in the last couple years to celebrate its anniversary.
And of course since in my diocese for example the Trid is lawfully allowed in a certain parish, that means you would go to it rather than needing to go to a nearby SSPX chapel right?
