Here it comes ... "I’d be happy if the Novus Ordo were just suppressed. Why do we need it anyway?" - Random comment.



The reaction to Cardinal Sarah's statement begins.

Why Cardinal Sarah’s liturgical ‘reconciliation’ plan won’t work“.  HERE

I didn’t agree with everything the Cardinal suggested about the future path of Benedict’s desired “mutual enrichment” of the two “forms” of the Roman Rite.  However, I have prayerfully engaged them. - HERE

It seems that the most trad-friendly Prelates of the Church actually want the Traditional Mass to disappear. [...] I can't say I'm too worried by these proposals. They revive discussions on liturgical matters, which is positive, but opposition by progressive and - let's be honest - middle-of-the-road Novus Ordo priests and faithful to the Reform of the Reform makes the implementation of Cardinal Sarah's programme by fiat from Rome unimaginable, even if he were to become Pope tomorrow. - Shaw at Rorate HERE

Actually it's all well reasoned and mild commentary.  I'm told the discussion is always good ...

What I detest is the claim the Ordinary Form is evil.

There is no contradiction between the two editions of the Roman Missal. . .The total exclusion of the new rite would not in fact be consistent with the recognition of its value and holiness. - Pope Benedict
I do think rad-trads will turn on Cardinal Sarah, sooner than later.  (Maybe they already have?)

I'm sick of it too.

UPDATE July 23:

And they're off!

....Cardinal Sarah's CDW permits nun to do weddings?!

  1. I regularly go to the NO Mass. That's all we have where I live and I am just thrilled we have Mass 7 days a week. In the last city that my son lived in he had a Latin Mass parish just a 5 minute walk from his home. When I visited him I went to Mass there. Both Masses have good points, both feature things that could turn someone off. I guess the point I am making is this - when you realize what the Mass is re-presenting and Who you receive in Holy Communion you should be on your knees thanking the good Lord you are privileged to go to Mass period!
