Well--you nailed it--it IS up to the local Bishop to make certain that the NO is celebrated correctly (viz., Bruskewitz) and to allow Old Rite.

It's also up to the Bishops to teach, sanctify, and govern in union with the Pope.

Man--do we have a Bishop problem or what?

***Man--do we have a Bishop problem or what?***

So do the Episcopalians. Their Queens are becoming Bishops!

Pope Piel plans to turn a few Bishops into Pawns.

Man--do we have a Bishop problem or what?

We do. And the bishops do not have the sensitivity to the interests of their own Catholic commnity at heart.

I don't believe that the traditionalists who desire the Tridentine Rite are all that large in terms of numbers, so the bishops can seemingly get away with ignoring them.

But, their Faith is genuine, and their hearts are pure (if, indeed, the Tridentine Rite Mass is what they want, and not the obliteration of the Novus Ordo).

If these needs can be addressed, they should be addressed. I don't believe traditionalists are going to trust the current crop of bishops to honor their legitimate desires.

A Tridentine Rite would do that.
