I haven't heard that the FSSP has been "forced" to celebrate the Novus Ordo, or forbidden to celebrate the Tridentine Mass. From all the reports I've read, the only change is that FSSP priests are now allowed to say Novus Ordo masses. Does that make you a liberal?

Where in the world did I say the FSSP priests are forbidden to say the Tridentine Mass? It seems like they're the only ones who have Vatican permission to do so. Certainly, not the SSPX for they are supposedly "excommunicated" for having insisted on doing so. Also, I never said FSSP are forced to celebrate the "Nervous Order" Mass. I said they have to concelebrate it;i.e. two or more priests.
As far as the American bishops: they have totally disobeyed "Ecxcelsia (forgive my spelling) Dei" in their refusals to permit the Tridentine Mass to those seeking it, or if they do so, it's it on a limited basie; i.e. every third Saturday in the funeral home down by the river.
