Seriously and yet unfortunately BXVI doesn’t have much time on his hands. He needs to mandate the Latin Mass at each parish by a given date. Any room left for avoidance will be avoided by local Bishops and parish priests in the US.

We’ve seen the same here in Dayton, OH; the latin mass is not full, but it is growing. While we stand in the shadow of a much larger NO crowd, their hair is much grayer/white than ours. If it were not for the hypnotic effect of the Gregorian Chant, the crying babies at the latin mass would dominate the scene. How long does it take for good demographics to tilt the tables? The latin mass communities have the youth and they have the vocations. It may be the case that the new priests will start cutting into the herd and driving them towards a beautiful liturgy again. No need to “reform” the Bugnini disaster, just pick up traditions where they were left off.

This is good news! Let’s hope some of our more obstinate, leftward Bishops attend and are moved by the beauty of the liturgies (starting with my own...).
