Basically, you're saying that the Latin Mass may be said under the same conditions that defrocked pedophiles can say mass.

This comment is silly.

Any priest can say Mass privately, even pedophiles. They have to act with the Ordinary in Public Ministry, that is Canon Law.

No, actually, you make exactly my point. It's meaningless to say, "Any priest can say the Latin Mass" when the truth is that the preconditions of saying the mass (that no-one can partake) are the same preconditions placed on defricked pedophiles.

That's the sort of "freedom of worship" that The Religion Of Peace offers.
