Upon my reading of the letter and the Bishop's press release, I think that Stein should have waited awhile to think twice before posting his rather rude letter without some mods.
From his letter I got the impression that the traditional Latin Mass was kaput in the Diocese of Arlington.
But reading the Press release the traditional Latin Mass will continue in selected parishes in the Diocese. To me, that is an even handed, responsible reply to the challenge presented by the Pope to our diocese.
Like Pope Francis or not, he was selected by God Himself, for reasons we do not understand or appreciate. God's plan is not our plan.
Maybe we are experiencing the whirlwind predicted in the Third Letter of Fatima. Read Windswept House by Malachi Martin to get a sense of the context of what is going on in the Vatican, and the Fatima letter.
Perhaps you need to read the fine print and then reconsider if it's "even-handed":
Because nothing says even handed like allowing a few parishes to continue having the Tridentine Rite so long as they move them to an outbuilding and refrain from telling anyone when they’re actually occurring….
