For those who don’t exercise spiritually as described above, it doesn’t and won’t matter how many TLM Masses they attend. It’s the receptive heart (”poverty of spirit”) that is required, not how many times we kneel or in what language the Mass is recited.

Do you not think the TLM does encourages "spirituality" and is more receptive to the Sacred Heart than the Novus Ordo?

Yes.

My post wasn't speaking to that specific a point though but more to the implication of the article you posted, that the broad application of the TLM would somehow solve all our modernist woes. It won't by itself. That's what the article seems to imply to me at least.

My post was like saying, considering the person that doesn't appreciate beauty in art, (or in other words someone analogous to someone without a receptive heart, although of course an appreciation for art isn't the same as a heart open to Christ but still the analogy holds) you can sit them down in front of the great works in the Vatican, and then in front of a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon and they won't see the difference, both will be the same to such a person.
