However, I still can't help but think that the 1962 is certainly much more traditional than Paul VI's liturgies, and a definite improvement over them, even if not ideal. I do think we have the SSPX to thank for preserving tradition in that extent at least. But I also think we ought to be working to restore a liturgy yet more in line with tradition.MaestroJMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552734342224710734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-42276317713559075722014-02-02T13:26:52.884-06:002014-02-02T13:26:52.884-06:00They are have done an enormous amount of damage to...They are have done an enormous amount of damage to the liturgy with their desire to market the $$PX 'brand' and exclude those who have not agreed with them over the years. The $$PX must be unique in having something like half the number of clergy that have been ordained over the years leave it - and the current situation is no different to day one. One suspects that Benedict called their bluff and offered them precisely what they claimed to want knowing full well this would lead to internal disintegration. A clever move.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-9132726743841177442014-01-30T00:15:32.688-06:002014-01-30T00:15:32.688-06:00By my understanding, the only thing preventing ful...By my understanding, the only thing preventing full reconciliation at the present time is the Society's requirement that they be granted “freedom to accuse and even to correct the promoters of the errors or the innovations of modernism, liberalism and Vatican II and its aftermath”. This Rome refuses to concede. On this point I'm glad the Society is holding the line ... the SSPX represent the only clerical voices in the Church who can speak freely about the crisis without fear of censure. Nevertheless I definitely share some of the concerns expressed here and pray the situation is resolved soon.

But I do think that I would agree with you that Lefebvre may have lacked prudence. Also I agree that the SSPX may be a little bit too accustomed to this abnormal state of things. I suspect that they might not be trying hard enough to look for reconciliation with Rome - although that might be somewhat impracticable now, with Pope Francis. <br /><br />It's a messy situation.MaestroJMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552734342224710734noreply@blogger.com
