Starting on the first Sunday of Advent 2018, a new mass for this new form of Old Rite should be made available.

I endured the entire tenure of Rogerio Cardfile Balony in L.A. and witnessed his pranks in real time. He was a piece of work.
.
He's now retired in my old parish Church.
.
Every time he wanted to roll out a new revolutionary scheme, it would be scheduled in advance to start at the beginning of Advent the following year.
.
I ought to come up with a list of them.
.
I never heard it explained why the beginning of Advent would be the time he chose.
.
All the major moves after Vat.II were introduced at the beginning of Advent in whatever year they were.

It seems to me Advent is a time when families are preparing for Christmas and busy "getting into the spirit of the season" and are therefore MOST VULNERABLE to revolutionary changes being imposed from the top down, since the fighting spirit one needs to oppose such changes is in conflict with the festive "holiday" spirit. Also, Advent is a time when we joyfully anticipate the arrival of our Redeemer, so the positive looking forward to something new can be purloined or stolen by subversives who want to put a happy face on their act of subterfuge.
