What is behind the papal strangulation of the old Mass?

The Society of Jesus.

I’m not sure I agree. As much as there are major, severe problems with the Jesuits (e.g., the homosexualist tilt promoted by Fr Jim Martin SJ etc), the fact is that Bergoglio was long alienated from the Society. His tenure as provincial in Argentina was characteristically disastrous, and most of the local Jesuits, left, right & center, hated the man. He was exiled to backwater assignments until John Paul 2 rescued him from obscurity to make him an auxiliary bishop. The Jesuits begged JP2 to NOT appoint him on the grounds of his quarrelsome, unstable personality. But JP2 ignored the Jesuits’ warnings, assuming that they were just attacking Bergoglio because he was a “conservative” (unbelievably, that really was the rap on him). The Jesuits reportedly had a thick file on Bergoglio in their headquarters in Rome, but the documents were purged upon his election in 2013. In any case, given his estrangement from the Society, it makes little sense to imagine that Bergoglio’s agenda is dictated by the S.J.s. He doesn’t need them to be diabolical. He’s doing fine on his own.
