"A Tridentine apostolic administration would not suppress the Novus Ordo, but would provide an effective parallel rite."
I used the wrong term; what I meant to indicate was that a traditional pope is going to have to eventually just do away with the Novus Ordo Missae.
"The insistence on such indicates the total lack of goodwill of the integrists who push this fantasy of a solution."
Not at all. Blowing by the phony term "integrists", it's actually a goodwill gesture to openly admit that the Novus Ordo needs to be abrogated. It would be merciful. It would reinforce the fact that the Church's reason for being is actually the salvation of souls.

My theory is that the next Pope, unlike John Paul II, will be much more dogmatic in his approach to governing: he will insist on adherence to the GIRM of the Novus Ordo, will make the Tridentine more widely available, and will cut the SSPX loose to finally drift off into the dustbin of history with other schisms.
