A choir of voices from within the kosher postconciliar concentration camp has called for exactly that: unity with error in exchange for access to the TLM.
Long before the SSPX consecrations and consequent excommunications, others and I, unlike Trad. Inc., have warned and pointed out with monotonous regularity that the overarching issue is not the Traditional Latin Mass alone, but the new Vatican II religion issuing out of Rome.
We have stated repeatedly that there could be no compromise over the liturgy while adhering to the false Synodal anti-Catholic religion.
At this late stage of total apostasy in the Synodal Abomination, one does not need to be a prophet to predict that, in the wake of the SSPX excommunications, Rome will use access to the TLM as the bargaining chip to keep “Traditional” Catholics on a short leash and domesticated within the Synodal Church.
This past week, it has been telling how a choir of voices from within the kosher postconciliar concentration camp has called for exactly that: unity with error in exchange for access to the TLM.
Among the earliest episcopal responses was that of Bishop Czesław Kozon of Copenhagen. Speaking to Catholic News Agency, Kozon argued that the older liturgy should continue to have a place within the life of the Church, observing that the “Old Mass” should remain available so long as there are believers “who like to have it and are associated with it.”
A similar position was adopted by Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo in a pastoral letter issued after the SSPX consecrations. Addressing Catholics who had attended SSPX chapels because of their attachment to the pre-conciliar liturgy, Hansen wrote directly to those “who are attracted to the pre-conciliar liturgy and the spirituality associated with it.” He pledged that, “if it is necessary and it serves for the good of the Church and of souls, I will also expand this kind of Mass celebration in our local Church.”
Perhaps the most high-profile intervention came from Archbishop Georg Gänswein, former personal secretary to Benedict XVI and now Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic States. In an interview with the Corriere della Sera, Gänswein argued that the arch-heretic Francis had been “wrong” to impose the restrictions contained in Traditionis Custodes, insisting that the decision “can and must be corrected.” He further proposed that Rome should become “more flexible, generous and paternal” toward Catholics attached to the traditional liturgy. Wow, Georg, how generous of you to beg the modernist heretics to allow us access to what is rightfully ours!
Other senior prelates likewise proposed institutional solutions. Cardinal Gerhard Müller criticized the suppression of the former Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, describing its abolition as an “error” because important competencies had been dispersed. He advocated the creation of a new body possessing “some independence and autonomy” that could address both the liturgical and doctrinal questions surrounding traditionalist communities seeking full communion.
