Doesn't this make you sick? Look at the rest of the interview. He pompously lectures Traditionalists.

Well what else is he going to do?

He has to lecture someone. He doesn't have anyone else to criticize, they're not Catholics.

Which is why modernism's slippery double-talk can't make any impression on hard facts.

Did you read the interview? Just skim it. Look at his answers. He truly pompously believes we are all idiots. I know it shouldn't surprise me, but it does. I can't believe the head of the CDF is so absolutely hateful of Tradition. At least Levada kept mum most of the time. This guy is too much. And Trads are too busy shooting each other to aim at this guy in unison.

They think believers are idiots.

But if it does present such a comprehensive view of ecclesiology, why are there groups such as the Society of St. Pius X who want to stick to “frozen tradition,” as it were, rather than come into full communion? Does this suggest errors in this comprehensive vision?

We have breakaway groups, not only on the traditionalist wing, but also on the liberal wing. I think that some have developed sets of ideas, which they have formed into an ideology, and then they judge all things in the context of this one set of ideas. The traditionalists, for instance, focus heavily on the liturgy. But we cannot say that there is only one form in which the liturgy can be celebrated, that the extraordinary form is the only form of the Mass. We also cannot change the content of the holy Mass — it’s the same content — but some elements of the liturgy have developed. We have had a lot of rites, Roman, Byzantine, etc., and all are valid, and all have had a certain growth.
