American Archbishop Calls Traditionis Custodes “Overkill”

Traditionis Custodes and the way some bishops are choosing to implement it “with a scorched earth policy” is “nothing short of overkill,” retired Archbishop Thomas Gullickson writes on his UtMereamur.Blogspot.com (September 9).

“Where is the solicitude for the least of the brethren, for God's little ones?” – he asks.

On September 3, Gullickson compared Traditionis custodes “to a scythe or a winnowing fan, which will further bring to light that good seed, which like the proverbial mustard seed will come to fruition and shelter a new world in its branches."

He added that the quiet demographic growth of the Roman Rite Catholics will throw a spanner in the motu proprio's works.
