Makes sense and we’ve all been on the edge of our kneelers for the last two years.
Let the games begin. [pun intended,’cause we all know what has to happen].
I absolutely have no idea why there is this animus against the TLM.
I have heard terrible stories about what the PTB did to priests who did not want to switch, and the PTB are still at it!
We have 6 seminarian in our diocese and 4 of them come from my TLM church and 1 more from another TLM church. I think the bishop will think twice before shutting down the TLM in our diocese. Tradition is where the heart is in these younger men.
Rorate Caeli’s sources have been impeccable and dead-on accurate about this pontificate, so this is extremely worrisome. It’s also somewhat shocking because when you try something and it flops, it takes a special kind of hubris to triple down. “Traditiones custodes” has succeeded, I guess, in shutting down a handful of TLMs in places where the local bishop was already hostile. But when you see things like the Chartres pilgrimage where 20,000 people show up for TLM, and when Harrison Butker gives a speech in which he extolls the virtues of the TLM and gets 2.2 million views, how do a few SOBs in the Vatican possibly think they can wave just their magic wands and make all this go away?
Christ the King will prevail.
