And did you even read McLucas article, or did you tune it out as soon as you saw him say something negative about married deacons?And is Ratzinger "insecure" too?

The problem with the folks who fell hook, line and sinker for all these novelties is that,once they accepted them, they can't admit that they might have made a mistake. It's as if the Coca Cola company insisted that New Coke was better and more popular with people even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. At least Coca Cola learned from their mistake.

Since these "novelties" (like permanent deacons, and the Anglican dispensation) were approved by two popes, am I correct in assuming that Pius XII (who also changed the liturgy) was the last "real" pope to you?

The Tridentine Mass should be widely available. I'm all for that.

But the Novus Ordo is the normative Mass, we permanent deacons continue to increase in number, and laymen will play an increasingly larger role in the Church.
