Quit your bitchin’. Acknowledge where good is being done, and promote it.

Let’s not forget the principle of subsidarity, where the local ordinary handles these types of matters in his diocese.

He can refer to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments if he needs further general guidance.

In these kinds of discussions, often used by as an excuse for poor leadership by papal apologists.

Why even have a pope if the issues closest to the faithful and most important to them are decided parish by parish? That's what protestants do. The church needs uniformity in liturgy and form (within a rite), as had been the case for centuries. The only way you ensure this is top down.
