Ultimately, is that possible?
“Seems that the TLM being available is an excuse for the progressives to keep the innovations in the NO.”
Some might say the NO was created for the progressives in the first place.
Our parish does it.
We also chant the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin every First Sunday. One of our young Parochial Vicars is gradually adding more Latin (the Mysterium Fidei (with response from the choir), the preface and conclusion of the Pater Noster, etc.) . . . sort of softening up the congregation, if you will. Rumor hath it that the FSSP's DVD is circulating in the vicinity . . . .
Our archdiocese has an FSSP parish that was enthusiastically supported by our retired Archbishop (who is still very active, sort of a de facto suffragan) and is thriving.
We do have some crazy laypeople and a few heterodox priests (you know who you are, guys!) but by and large this is a conservative, orthodox Archdiocese.

We have an NO just like on EWTN. It is reverent and holy. We chant Latin and kneel for communion. I love it. No handholding, no gestures, it’s beautiful.
I think it’s possible.
It most certainly is possible, and is done in many Parishes. It is a mistake to confuse the numerous and widespread abuses of the OF Mass with the OF Mass itself.
