TYPICAL

From Seattle Catholic, I found this CruxNews story on the return of the Tridentine Mass to Detroit. This story has been played out again and again in the US, including here in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. The traditional Latin Mass is refused to the faithful in strong, violent ways. Those who ask for it are treated like garbage. When it is offered, it is offered infrequently, in far away places, and in run down chapels. Here on Long Island, for years the Mass was only offered once a month for Nassau County, in a facility that housed child molester priests. For Suffolk County, it was also once a month, in an old unused chapel that quite literally creaked when you walked inside. This location was about an hour from where I live, so attending both Masses was not a possible thing for most people to do. Bishop McGann, the bishop who protected child molesters in the priesthood, was vicious to traditional Catholics but thank God McGann's people are dying away and Bishop Murphy allowed the traditional Mass to be offered weekly. Anyway, the story about Detroit is so typical:

"The decision has been met with guarded optimism by those who have worked for the Tridentine Rite in the archdiocese, mainly because the rite – until now -- has been bitterly opposed by Maida and his chancery since Maida arrived as archbishop in Detroit in 1990."

Why are the bishops bitterly opposed to tradition but not to homosexual priests raping teen boys???

"Many suspect the Tridentine Mass may be sparingly offered at small parishes in inconvenient locations, perhaps even in parishes hostile to traditional aspirations."

That is because this is the way it is usually done, so the "many" have good reason to expect this.

"It is noteworthy that the primary opponent of the Tridentine Mass at that time was Fr. Gerald Shirilla, professor at Sacred Heart Major Seminary and director of the Worship Department. Fr.Shirilla told a reporter for the Michigan Catholic that, regarding those who want the Tridentine Mass, "We have to fight them tooth and nail."
"Fr. Shirilla was relieved of his post in 1993 when he was identified as a serial child molester, who favored young altar boys, going back more than 20 years.

Ding Ding Ding! Those who are the most opposed to traditional Catholic worship are usually those most opposed to traditional Catholic teaching.
