Pyro,

All I can say is this...the Dolan excerpts are over 20 years old. These were written in response to and in defense of the formation of the SSPV. The whole reason the 9 priest broke away from the SSPX were over the acceptance or not of the 1962 Missal.

I personally share symphathies for the older rubrics and Missals, but I believe as a matter of consistency, we either accept the liturgical authority of Pope Pius XII or we don't. The problem with the SSPV is that they pick and choose which Pius XII changes they will follow. The CMRI, another sedevacantist group, at least has the consistency to follow the Missal of 1958, that is, upon the death of and inclusive of the entire Pontificate of Pius XII.

That being said, TODAY's traditionalists are being well nourished by the 1962 Missal. I say we accept that fact, but we can have friendly and intellectually fruitful discourse about the pre-V2 changes. The proper venue for such discourse is here online and also perhaps we can start discussion groups at church. What we shouldn't do is tear down the vast number of traditionalists who follow the 1962 Missal.

When the 1962 Missal is put on a more normal footing, then, I believe the competent authorities need to carefully re-evaluate the pre-V2 changes, and produce a revised Missal, which will be the product of a truly traditional mindset akin the St. Pius X reforms of 1911.
