On the Latin Mass, Pope Francis pulls off the Band-Aid

On the Latin Mass, Pope Francis pulls off the Band-Aid 

Now we know why Cardinal Sarah is retired. That this directive comes after hearing from his brother bishops is indicative that this comes from the whole Church, not just Francis. There is a Latin Mass under the current Roman Rite. Adding back the old forms is what gamers call Creative Anachronism. 

What is more troubling is the association between the Old Form and resistance of Vatican II, especially Dignitatis Humanae, which officially ended the old Triumphalism. Salvation is about the inner life, not outside conformity to the will of hierarchy. The Church cannot be a white mausoleum with a rotted core.
