ROME and only ROME has full authority over the liturgy--and in this context, "Rome" means the Pope.

Therefore, it's over and done with.

Be careful that you don't inadvertently join the dips****s (for example, the Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy, ICEL, and the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions) who think that Rome's authority over the liturgy is merely "advisory" and not full and complete.

One of the greatest sources of suffering is when “The Church lets us down.” A supernaturally motivated Catholic never loses sight of the fact that even though the Church is the holy bride of Christ—all pure and without wrinkles—alas many of her members are great sinners. Corruptio optimi pessima.

Actually not. He may still be in error. It happens. Frankly in this case, with the actions of a Cardinal who says ". . . today we no longer understand ecumenism in the sense of a return, by which the others would 'be converted' and return to being 'Catholics.' This was expressly abandoned at Vatican II.", he may well be. The fact that he has the authority to regulate the liturgy doesn't mean he has the ability to say that heresy is truth. No Pope can do that. Nor did he -- he simply approved what Kasper did -- he may not even be fully aware of the facts, or he may see some strategic import in using an error.
