The form of the mass has nothing to do with this.
You might be surprised what vandalising the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has wrought.
Almighty God was quite precise in instructing from the ground up the furnishings, priestly movement and rubrics, and the people’s place, in observing the sacificial worship.
And don’t give me the modernist turn of phrases about the casual early “house celebrations” of the Holy Sacrfice of the Mass.
Those celebrations would put the NO of the West quite to shame. Check out Chaput on that subject and the revelations of excavations of what meeting in “houses” truly meant.
In any case, Dolan is advertising his affection for a culture in decline, where less means more and decadence trumps piety.
Certainly it does. The forced extinction, practically, of the TLM for decades is one of the things that lead to withdrawn graces for the Catholic Church and the impropriety that followed, especially by American bishops and other ecclesiastics.
