According to SJB, the chapels that he is familiar with that reject the Pius XII Holy Week are in the same condition as churches were in the early 1950s: almost empty.
Well, how well-attended are the "resistance" Masses right now?
This has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
I mean, might must equal right then, according to that statement. Might as well go to the Novus Ordo if you're number hunting, and that has something to do with how good something is.
A future pope will come out definitely and say one way or the other. Until then, this is something contested. Whatever the future Pope's decision is, I'll go with.
I was only demonstrating that it is ironic that the reasons that Pius XII changed the rite, lack of attendance during the Holy Week, appears to be currently present at chapels that reject the reformed rite.
This point in no way changes the argument, but I do find it ironic.
If it were available here, I'd be living at Church the entire week (figuratively, of course,) especially after hearing the arguments that Fr. Hesse made as to the incredible value of the ancient rites.
