Many more of those in Jerusalem preferred Barabbas to Our Lord. So much for "preferences" and a prime example of Democracy in action.

Another slap at the Novus Ordo.

The main reason the Tridentine is not attended on a wider basis is demonstrated amply by the arrogance and condescension of its advocates on this very website.

Another slap at the Novus Ordo. No it's a slap at your reasoning, that numbers make something "good".

Again, if the NO is so good, tell us why.

I'd ask you to prove that but it would be as "fruitless" as Vatican II itself.

It is the bishops that are denying the true Mass to the faithful. It is the bishops that illegally suppressed it.

Most of the zombies attending the Novus Ordo don't even know there ever was a so-called "Tridentine" rite.

Even if that were true, that people were actually turned away by a real and true arrogance, and a real and true condescension of its advocates on this very website, you would be forced to admit that they turned away for the wrong reasons, and for reasons that ultimately could not be justified.

Therefore, in either the case where the advocates were perfect, or the case were they were manifest sinners...

...you'd be wrong.

The main reason the Tridentine is not attended on a wider basis is that it is not available to the faithful.
The secondary reason is that it has been lied about and bad-mouthed by clerics and other church leaders.
