A little off topic, but one change I've noted already, and think we'll see more of, is that if any church wants to offer the Tridentine mass, I don't think anyone is going to have the nerve to say anything about it. I would expect it to make a comeback in a big way because I think people are hungry for the cool smoothness of the Gregorian Chant. Look at the way the CDs sell. Put that in a worship context and it is Holy Fire!

And, IMO, this is how it should be. There should be a place for the Novus Ordum, mass in the local language, and there should be a place for preserving the tradition. Why exclude either?

But regarding this Cardinal O'brien, he sounds like one of the Episcoswishes here who don't see that they are swimming against the tide of history that is about to sweep them away.

A very good perspective--they are really " '60's libs"--stuck in a time-warp. This, too, shall pass.
