I wanted to throw out to you all what the person in question said. It was precisely as written above. Before I made a response, or asked for further clarification, I wanted to see if perhaps I was missing something and wanted the opinion of others.
Maybe I am wrong, but it seems the persons hesitates to call it a sacrilege - because it is blasphemy to call a Mass a sacrilege?? As long as the NO may be a Mass, it cannot be blasphemed by being called a sacrilege. I can't make sense of the statement any other way.
Well - ridiculous. This person, I believe, has to fudge on this because of family members, et al. Cannot brook the hard position, so in apparent piety, pulls the necessary punch, and life stays easier. It's high and elevated way to think about it.
What does Our Lord say about "Yea yea - no no"? And what of the person calling evil good and good, evil?
Quo Primum says if anyone dares to touch the Tridentine Mass, he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul. With THAT kind of muscle to back you up, there is no excuse (with Confirmation graces to help you, even!), for not seeing the obvious.
