"You feel now a sense of betrayal and your request for a restoration of what you consider nine fundamental past traditions reflects your desire to hold on to an experience that has, in some important ways, nourished your faith over a long period of time. I apologize for the hurt and misunderstanding this has caused."

"You" feel?

A lot of Catholics feel and have felt this way. In fact such feelings have "nourished" the faith of a great many Catholics. The majority of them, in fact.

"Parliament hath not the power..."

One of my favorite words, smarmy, it sounds like what it means. Perfectly descriptive of this bishop.

They are encouraging the tridentine mass by allowing the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter to set up operations in their areas. Fraternity priests are forbidden to say other than the traditional Roman rite.
