I agree. I am a traditionalist who endures the Novus Ordo out of obedience. I do wonder however, is there anything that the Vatican or the Cardinals could do that would be against the Church or is everything they do no matter how it contradicts traditional Catholicism considered licit simply because of the office held?

You ask a good question, and I'm definitely not schooled enough to give a good answer.

I don't think that Vatican II has "contradicted" the traditions of the Church. From listening to Catholic radio -- which is full of conservative priests and theologians -- it seems to me that the church can never be in err, but can understand the Truth more fully as it is revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Why God allowed the Church to change the Mass is something we can not understand, but there must be a reason because God is reasonable. Many bishops throughout the country allow the Tridentine Mass at some of their parishes, and I personally think this is a worthy compromise to allow those who prefer the Latin Mass to celebrate it.

God bless.
