My solution to the option for the Tridentine Mass is to establish a Tridentine Rite, similar to an Eastern Rite, under a Patriarch who would report to the Pope. In such an arrangement, decisions about traditional worship would be out of the hands of the local bishop.
I don't think the critical mass is yet there to promote such an idea, but it would alleviate these battles between traditionalists and bishops who don't want the Tridentine Mass in their dioceses.
I could almost understand optional celibacy for priests if it would eliminate the sex abuse/pedophile scandals and the vocations crisis, but let's just lay the problem where it really belongs--Vatican II.
The single worst sexual abusers were men trained and ordained in the pre-Vatican II Church. The problem was more cultural than religious.
We would have had sexual abuse issues even without Vatican II.
I agree with that idea (if a last chance solution to prevent local interference by the bishop). But that sounds too much like the "national" parishes of day's gone by, where certain ethnic groups went to certain parishes (ie. in my mom's neighborhood, Poles and Lithuanians went to the Annuciation, Italians and Irish usually went to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
As for cultural vs. religious problems then yes, because there wasn't as much of an open door to discuss things in the Church prior to Vatican II. Although i would argue that VCII also caused many to lose their compass. They didn't even come out until 8-10 years ago.. Prior to that, even if it were serious, bringing forth allegations against your priest were just simpy unthinkable for most.
