Poor Cardinal Ratzinger is one of the better ones, but nobody listens to him, neither his subordinates, nor his superiors (his warning about elevating Kasper to the cardinalate was ignored).
But once Rome speaks on matters concerning the FSSP, SSPX or even Campos, everybody jumps on the Novus bandwagon.
Sadly, some conservative minded people have been saying, to mostly deaf or pleased ears, that real power had been misappropriated from orthodox Catholics in the Vatican since the early 90's. A priest, Fr. Ray now deceased, who visited our area for an annual parish retreat for many years cautioned us, and we hoped and prayed it wouldn't deteriorate, but it has.
They humor men like Cardinal Ratzinger and his like minded subordinates and superiors, all the while working at cross purposes with them, waiting, and I quote a so-called priest who worked in our parish during this time, until the mostly older objectors, both priest and parishioner, dies off. Our parish lost nearly 30% membership during this time.
