If anyone in any of these dioceses tried to say a Latin mass without permission the swiss guard would be sent in.

Think about what you and so many others are saying. Yes, you are all right.

Now take it a step further,someone claims that father is inviting him to his room for a Tridentine Mass. The bishop calls father,father says "that is not true,I have been giving him spiritual direction,he is seeing a psychiatrist because he is a big liar and I prefer you don't disclose that I told you". Do you think Rome would send in the swiss guard?

Now look at the other situation. What if a priest said in his bulletin;"because of the demand for a little more excitement during mass,we are going to start having sex orgies every second Sunday,please come".Now,do you think the swiss guards would be sent in?

So when I said you were right,I meant it but it doesn't reflect on Rome.I hope you can see why equating or comparing the two acts in any way is just not reasonable.

Sorry, I do not follow your reasoning at all. Perhaps you could explain more? Keep in mind I have never assisted at a Latin mass. My point was that I never read about Rome intervening in "liberal" heterodox issues, or seldom anyway. I have read plenty where a "conservative" heterodox issue brings the full force of the Church upon it.
