Only time will tell. I’m not at all worried that Pope Francis will actively undermine his predecessor’s intent and legislation on the TLM, and the Ecclesia Dei commission will continue to enforce the legislation. Just recently Ecclesia Dei forced the Diocese of Greensburg PA to start offering a TLM as it was formally requested by the faithful there long ago. Ecclesia Dei is not going to stop defending the rights of the laity as laid out in Summorum Pontificum, and more and more priests and especially seminarians are learning the TLM. This will not be turned back. And Pope Francis will not interfere with the growth of the movement.

He wouldn't even have to interfere, the bishops will do it. Even Pope Benedict was only able to do a drop in the bucket. Do you have an article about the Diocese of Greensberg? From what I've seen there is no support of it. Besides, if the SP says that any parish can have it, without consulting the bishop, then when has Ecclesia Dei done by forcing the diocese to have a single Mass? Besides, the bishop can still punish any priest who wants to learn or celebrate the Mass. These priests know that.

Moreover, if your bishop hates/and or is against the Extraordinary Form, should you really be attending it? He is your bishop.
