This is a lie, perhaps not yours, but it is a lie, nonetheless. I live in Mahony's (not "Mahoney's") diocese and anyone here who wants a Traditional Latin Mass ("Tridentine" is a misnomer) has to get himself to places many miles away, passing numerous novus ordo venues on the way, and if he's lucky, the bishop has not preempted the Mass without warning, having some other ceremony going on there instead.
In the true form of a died in the wool Modernist, Mahony only "allows" enough traditional Catholicism to happen here for him to get face time and be able to make the CLAIM that he provides for the faithful. He does not give us what we have asked for.
Why? Well, if he provided a Traditional Latin Mass at each parish, and the crowds all surged in the doors at that Mass only and not at the others (you and I know full well, that's exactly what would happen), well, would that promote his revolutionary agenda?
There is only one place where a weekly "indult" Mass is offered, at the San Buenaventura Mission at 1:30 pm. Why? Do not even try to go toe to toe on this one with me. I personally know the priest who years ago started offering a Saturday Traditional Latin Mass nearby the Mission at a secular venue. Mahony installed the regular "indult" there to try to lure the traditonally-inclined faithful away from the independent priest. What a criminal!
If Mahony has any chance for his eternal salvation, it's because so many of us are praying for him, because he absolutely refuses to speak with us. I know, I've tried.
That's exactly what would not happen. In dioceses like Washington, DC, where three indults are offered every Sunday, the attendance is decent, but it's far from standing-room-only at any of them.
You have the mistaken notion that Catholics are just chomping at the bit to attend a Tridentine Latin Mass. Let me assure you that they're not.
If the Tridentine were offered in every parish, it would be the most sparsely attended Mass in 95% of those parishes. Only a very few Catholics desire the TLM.
Mahony installed the regular "indult" there to try to lure the traditonally-inclined faithful away from the independent priest. What a criminal!
I thought you were in favor of the TLM? Mahoney offered this indult to try to bring Catholics back into the Church; as it was, they were attending a traditional chapel not in union with the Catholic Church.
There was obviously a need there, and Mahoney met it.
