Since I am in Chicago, I post today a link to a story from this date in 2023, 4 August 2022, about the Archdiocese and the Institute of Christ the King.
You might remember that the local Archbishop said to the Institute, whose raison d’être is the use the traditional form of the Roman Rite, that they had to accept the patently and false and manifestly stupid claim that the Novus Ordo “is the only expression of the Roman Rite” or they couldn’t celebrate any Masses in their church. In other words, they offered the Institute an unjust choice: Accept the lie we are forcing on you, or you can’t functioning as priests… and it’s YOUR fault.
This sort of thing is a manifestation of what so often results for priests as moral injury.
Remember: It’s not just the rite, the Vetus Ordo, that they fear and hate, its the people who want those rites. It’s the people.
Adding to the sadness, even though a new pontificate in underway with Leo XIV, even though 99% of local bishop don’t know what his thinking is about the matter is, some bishop are moving against the people who want the traditional Mass (cf. Detroit, Charlotte, Valence, etc.).

The hilarity is seeing these geriatric ideologies give the death rattle. It’s like a father whose last act of spite on his deathbed is to disinherit his son and donate his inheritance to PETA.
>It’s not just the rite, the Vetus Ordo, that they fear and hate, its the people who want those rites. It’s the people.
It seems to me that their hatred of the Mass of the Ages comes from a hatred of God(-centered religion).
Um die volle communio zu leben, können die Priester, die den Gemeinschaften des alten Usus zugehören, selbstverständlich die Zelebration nach den neuen liturgischen Büchern im Prinzip nicht ausschließen. BENEDICTUS PP. XVI
Official translation –
Needless to say, in order to experience full communion, the priests of the communities adhering to the former usage cannot, as a matter of principle, exclude celebrating according to the new books.
Alas, it was not needless to say!
If, arguendo, Father, 99% of the local bishops are unaware of Leo’s thoughts on the suppression of the Latin Mass perhaps it’s a function of his disinterest in the matter or perhaps the 1% who do know his mind are in Detroit, Chicago, etc.
