Even Benedict’s statements on the Latin Mass in his own motu proprio suggest that he was completely oblivious to what has been happening among traditional Catholics. The language of his document painted a picture of traditionalists as a bunch of mostly old people who should be allowed to attend the TLM out of some sense of nostalgia, and that the TLM would eventually fade away with them. Apparently it never occurred to him (or anyone else in the Church hierarchy) that there has been a huge groundswell of support for the TLM among young Catholics.

Wr wete told for years that God does not change and the Church was a solid place of refuge. Modernism is the ruination of not just the Church.

The liturgy is a gift of the Holy Spirit; it is not the province of some liturgical minister or director or priest or bishop or Pope.
And what the Holy Spirit has given cannot be revoked by any human.
That the Pope has picked a fight with the Holy Spirit over the holy liturgy tells us all we need to know about said Pope.

When I assist at Latin Mass, I see more children than adults. Most of the adults are parents of young children. Relatively speaking, I'm one of the old geezers ... and I'm not that old ...
