Short post: Do you ever wonder why people who seem like they should have no opinion one way or the other about the TLM seem sometimes to be bitterly opposed to it? I have wondered, frequently, why it matters to liberals in the Church whether people who aren’t them go to a TLM. I rarely hear anything from them along the lines of “the TLM is theologically wrong. I want people to stop going to it so that their souls will not be in danger.” Rather, the opposition comes usually from people who don’t care much about theological truth. They often react more like angry barbarians attacking an old enemy that they thought was dead than like concerned Christians looking out for their brethren’s welfare.
(Note: I’m saying “people who dislike the TLM.” As in those who want it suppressed. Not merely those who don’t choose to attend it.)
