I guess my bigger question is: Will the Latin Mass be considered an anachronism by the next papacy?

And will it be sanguine about the current state of the liturgy?

An interesting question. Someone else suggested I keep my eye on Cardinal Rai who has a strong connection to the Blessed Mother. While I don't imagine Cardinal Rai stands any chance of being elected pope, it would be an interesting choice in that he is the Patriarch of the Maronite Church, which celebrates the liturgy of Antioch (the consecration is chanted in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, Mary and the Apostles). As pontiff, he would be celebrating that liturgy at St. Peter's.

Respect for a reverent liturgy is important but, given what we know about the cabal within the church, I think our concern should be directed towards weightier issues.
