The last 30 years of the Church prove it is not.

Well, I disagree, and I think the number of Catholics who would agree with me far outnumbers those who would agree with you.

And that doesn't count John Paul II, who agrees with me as well.

See, many traditionalists would like to do what was done in the 60s; that is, reimpose the Tridentine Rite and suppress the Novus Ordo.

That is not going to happen, traditionalist, nor should it.

But a much more generous use of the Tridentine Rite should be given.

The Church is not a democracy. BTW, where's the "New Springtime" we've been promised for so long?

And that doesn't count John Paul II, who agrees with me as well.

He's irrationally attached to the Vatican 2 revolution because he was a part of it.

Anyway, I've got St. Pius X, Blessed Pius IX, Leo XIII, and countless other Pontiffs agreeing with me that radical change of disciplines, liturgical practices, etc is a bad idea.

I don't personally know any traditionalists who actually believe this. I certainly don't. Radical change is usually a bad idea, even if it means undoing previous radical change.

That is not going to happen, traditionalist, nor should it.

At least we have some common ground.
