How about this whopper from the accompanying letter:
“I take comfort in this decision from the fact that, after the Council of Trent, St. Pius V also abrogated all the rites that could not claim a proven antiquity, establishing for the whole Latin Church a single Missale Romanum. For four centuries this Missale Romanum, promulgated by St. Pius V was thus the principal expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite, and functioned to maintain the unity of the Church.“
But Your Holiness, you are doing the exact OPPOSITE of what St. Pius V did:
Rather than abrogating rites that could not claim a proven antiquity, you are abrogating a 1600 year-old rite, and establishing for the whole Latin Church a fabricated novelty (and pretending to do it by motu proprio against a papal bull declares you it’s author to be irrevocable).
And I note in passing the suggestion that the Missale Romanum promulgated by St. Pius V enjoyed only a 400 year usage in the Church, whereas in fact, in the main, it simply codified a rite already I use for 1,000 years.
