Time to start defending the faith--against the marauders who are dismantling it. Where are you defending it from?
From a sect which would jam the Tridentine Liturgy down the throats of these Houston Catholics as mercilessly has Fiorenza has kept it from them.
The hierarchy, and Paul VI, made a huge mistake in attempting to eradicate the Tridentine Mass.
It would be foolish to now repeat the mistake, as the SSPX would like to do.
If Fellay ever brings you guys back, he will have to do it under co-existence with the Novus Ordo. Some, like yourself and Williamson, I suspect, would rather insist on the highway of "Tridentine or bust."

While the two rites may one day "co-exist", the two faiths can't. One is Catholic, the other isn't. One rite supports and affirms Catholic theology and dogmas, the other undermines and suppresses Catholicism.
As Jesus warned us, a servant cannot serve two masters. One is the true faith, founded by Christ Himself for all time, the other is a politically correct concoction fabricated by humanists. No contest.

Pedophiles, sodomites, heretics and the like. You know, like those who would claim that the SACRED LITURGY of the Church is anti-Semitic or those who would promote NAMBLA or those who would desecrate the Altar of God by allowing heretical services on them. You know.
