So true. As I understand it, the Pope has plenary power over liturgy. Catholics need to obey the Pope in matters of discipline, while disagreeing with him on errors of faith or morals as taught by the Magisterium.
The Novus Ordo is given the Church and we should accept it and quit denigrating those who prefer it to the Latin Mass.
But, and I am not being argumentative, reciprocity of spirit needed. Many TLM attendees are regarded by "regular mass attendees" as freaks, bitter-clingers, outdated, "rigid" people without a heart. It happens...I've heard it and seen it, mostly in the press and online but even in my own travels. I mention my love of TLM and then the judgmental inquiries come..."how do you understand what they're saying?" "I don't like it when the priest has his back to the people." "Wasn't Latin outlawed under Vatican II?" etc.
The enemy is sin and the Smoke of Satan. Souls hang in the balance. Let's focus our energies there.
