I love Cardinal Zen and consider him a true hero, but I’m a bit perplexed by his statement: “Can’t the Vatican’s anti-Ratzingers wait patiently for the Tridentine Mass to die along with the death of Benedict XVI, instead of humiliating him in this way?”
On its face, the statement would seem to suggest a belief that Bergoglio and his minions had picked a silly fight because the TLM would eventually just fade away if left alone. Frankly, the anti-Ratzingers could be forgiven for not adopting that view when, left to its own devices, the TLM was mort certainly NOT fading away. Rather, it was growing in the U.S., the U.K. and France.
