Father Philippe Laguérie, the founding Superior General of the Institute of the Good Shepherd, was not surprised about Traditionis Custodes because the personnel of the Council Church “remains fundamentally revolutionary.” He told Present.fr (January 19) that the same causes produce the same effects and that “a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” For Laguérie, TC shows that Francis “is no longer working ‘on the peripheries’ but on another galaxy.” Laguérie's “absolute rejection” of the Novus Ordo is not affective but theological, he says because the NO is “concocted,” “a Promethean ambition,” “a romantic-libertarian chimera,” “a populism of bad taste,” and “unworthy” of Christ’s Church.

A Mass concocted nineteen centuries later can only be a Promethean ambition, a romantic-libertarian chimera, populism in bad taste, unworthy of the Church of Jesus Christ. The promulgation of the new ordo missae of Paul VI is undoubtedly legal and valid, but certainly …More
