Cardinal Cantalamessa Insults Holy Mass

An alleged "clericalisation" has led to the "liturgy celebrated before Vatican II" (= Roman Rite), Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa railed in his March 24 Lenten homily in Saint Peter's.
In reality, "clericalisation" has never been as rampant as today when Francis believes that he is above the Faith. Cantalamessa spread the falsehood that the Novus Ordo is a "return" to an "older" form, when in fact it is a 1960s neo-Protestant secularisation of the liturgy.
