What is it exactly that the Bishops are afraid of?

I may sound like a bit of a woo-woo,but I am thinking that a perfectly offered Tridentine Mass may be an almost inpenetrable obstacle to the ever present threat from the "gates of hell". I think we forget sometimes that God's world encopasses both the natural and supernatural,and His Kingdom which begins here,would contain both. I don't know but I think it has something to do with it,got to work on it some more.Any thoughts?

BTW,I agree with you on the Bishops who appear on EWTN.

Not sure what you mean, exactly. Are you saying that the Tridentine is a stopgap? I'll have to think about that, if that is what you are saying. I'm off to bed, not sure why I am up so late when I didn't even work tonight! It is 02:00 here and I have to get up early tomorrow... all the talk on these threads have given me the mind to take the ride and attend the indult Tridentine. Hey! My daughter is taking Latin this year and loves it! Says the opening class prayer in Latin. I think it may be easier to get her to attend the Tridentine now... and I think I have finally penetrated her brain and explained properly that it is the Mass of all who have gone before us. Our indult is beautifully said and you never hear a homily that you want to walk out on (unless you are a revolutionary, that is).
