As the renovationists clearly lose their grip on the Church, they grasp more tightly. Jesus did not grasp but emptied himself.

Vatican approval for priests to celebrate the Extraordinary Form. Vatican approval for bishops to approve lay associations. Vatican disapproval of a bishop for making decisions about where to send seminarians. Vatican approval of Mass times in the Church bulletin. Papal disaprobation of lace surplices. We only can take so much of it seriously. Each statement carries less weight.
