I think the best thing for the Church to do with the liberty is to go back to 1965 and start over with the reform, doing it incrementally and organically this time.

If you have been following the Synod postings, it is evident that the Normative liturgy is drawing in people and many converts, throughout Africa, India and Asia. They are also experiencing a wealth of vocations. Perhaps we need some of their priests to share their joy with us here in the west.

I don't know that it's a given that it's the NO liturgy per se, that is drawing in converts. Perhaps it's simply the working of the Holy Spirit through other aspects of the Church.

How do we know there wouldn't be more converts with the more ancient liturgy?

My point is that the reform that occurred was not what was forseen by the conciliar documents, which has been noted on occasion by the Holy Father when he was a cardinal.
