Bishop Fiorenza learned his lessons well from the KGB Manual for Suppression of Dissent.

The psychiatric hospitals of the old Soviet Union were filled with dissidents who obviously had to be mentally ill, because they did not support the new order of society.

(Incidentally, was Fiorenza ever involved with liberation theology? He might have encountered Soviet agents through the movement, given its close ties to various Marxist groups in Latin America.)

Ya'll are terrible.

Maybe the bishop didn't feel a compelling need to change the rite at St. Andrew's for the sake of the handful of people that supported Fr. Zigrang's desire. Instead, he told the priest that if he wanted, he could say the Tridentine privately, and suggested to the parishioners that if they wanted, there was an indult at the Church of the Annunciation, in downtown Houston, a beautiful church, worth driving to every Sunday, in my estimation. Why inconvenience the many, for the sake of the very few?

You guys have a vastly different understanding of the Church than most Catholics, and your bias causes you to say some pretty bizarre and even vicious things. The KGB manual. At least that is a new one.

Bishop Bruskewitz has allowed the Tridentine to be siad in his diocese, anytime, and anyplace. I would be interested in learning how widespread the old mass is there. My hunch is that most church going Catholics and most priests aren't very inerested in it. Even in Lincoln.
