Well, when y'all get done goofing off, maybe you could knock some heads together and get the traditional Latin Mass back into the parishes and get rid of this burden called the Novus Ordo Missae.

Not being a traditionalist, it's not my problem. And seeing how Vere, who happens to be one of the biggest promoters of the indult within the canon law world, often gets traddy knickers in knots, I have no intention of making it my problem.

Let me ask you a very simple question.

Why is so much effort being put into this?

The seeds of the solution to all problems are so simple. It's so unbelievably simple.

The pope simply needs to use the Chair and say: Hey, this isn't working. We've strayed from the Deposit of Faith. We've allowed our liturgy to be trashed. My bishops have, in all likely, simply lost the Faith. Others scandalize the world. My flock knows virtually nothing about their Faith, and they believe even less. We're courting false religions who in turn defile our own House. Today, this all stops, because I'm the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, and enough is enough.

But no, we have to have people debate over the size of the scraps thrown from the discussion table to the dog traditionalists.

You do realize how stupid this all really is, don't you?
