"Today, however, hapless Eastern layfolk in many places face just as odious a forced "de-Latinization."
What is he talking about? Last I checked, there weren't roving mobs of fanatical eastern Catholics running around out there. The "Kalachi Liberation Front" is not pounding down the doors of eastern Catholics who are seen carrying a Rosary.
I don't believe he is referring to mob mentality so much as the restoration of authentic customs. To cite an example, in looking over some parish photos from the early 80s, I was surprised to see the children holding felt banners as they entered the church to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Someone explained that for a while the Church tried to emulate the Latin Church. They have now restored the practice of Chrismation at the time of Baptism.
