We can equate the Roman Rite with Abel who sacrifices the lamb whereas Cain is the Novus Ordo which offers to the Lord “the fruit of the earth and of man's labour,” Eck writes on Caminante-Wanderer.Blogspot.com (September 15).
Abel’s lamb is a symbol for Christ, the God-Man, Cain’s “fruit of the earth and of man’s labour” (Novus Ordo offertory prayer) is a symbol for man. God looks favourably on Abel's sacrifice but not on Cain's.
Francis sees the graces flowing from the Roman Rite while he doesn’t obtain the desired fruit from the Novus Ordo. So, filled with envy, he did as Cain did who killed Abel with the jawbone of the ass, symbol for Traditionis Custodes.
