I am as puzzled as you by the reaction of many of our bishops to the Tridentine Mass, like it is horrifying, something to be hidden in the back room. This was the gem and the pride of the Church until the last 30-35 years. I wish I could understand why they react the way they do. I'm sure they would say something about church unity or the mind of the church or some such but I think it goes deeper than that.

There is no reason to be puzzled--it's as plain as the nose on your face. These bishops are not into Catholic teachings about the faith, they are Protestants and wish to make the rest of us Protestants. That is to say, a Mass which underscores perennial doctrines of the Catholic faith is horrifying to them: they wish to use the New Mass to subvert our faith and destroy it once and for all--using the same tactics, by the way, that Martin Luther did, starting with a "commemorative meal" liturgy and the suppression of all distinctly Catholic dogmas. The very same routine was used successfully by Thomas Cranmer who introduced his new liturgy little by little precisely to make Catholics gradually accept Protestantism. First came the small changes, followed by ever bigger ones stretched out over decades. Catholics pray now like Protestants, believe now like Protestants, receive Communion now like Protestants. They have become, in fact, Protestants.

The MAJORITY of Catholic Bushops in America have either engaged in sexual misconduct, or the coverup thereof. The infiltration of the Seminaries over the last 100 years by perverts and enemies of the Church has borne fruit (please forgive the phrase) and they HATE the True Mass with a passion. Why? Because it is destructive to evil, because it IS the Lord in Person on the Altar.
