Father Hewko admits that there's a possible theological argument to be made along those lines, but points out that the line is blurred for the faithful in terms of attending the NO and receiving communion.

Yes, I also noticed his inconsistency. First he says he and +Lefebvre agreed grace does not pass, then he says maybe it does. So in addition to being wrong about +Lefebvre, he's also confised himself (and yet that doesn't stop him from attacking). Curious.

Fr. Hewko's answer?

Prescinding from commenting upon the dispute between l'Abbe Hewko and M. Johnson, Abbe Hewko makes an interesting argument at 11:19 and 38:20, where he says that no pope can create new rites for the Church (elsewhere implying that if he did so, these new rites would not be Catholic, and therefore Trent would not apply).

But if I understand Pope Pius XII correctly, he says precisely the opposite:

"58. It follows from this that the Sovereign Pontiff alone enjoys the right to recognize and establish any practice touching the worship of God, to introduce and approve new rites, as also to modify those he judges to require modification."

Right. That's why the whole "illicit" argument is silly, the Pope most certainly can introduce new rites.

Well where does that leave Quo Primum then, which said the old Mass cannot be changed?
