My favorite irony in all this TLM business is that this sort of lay participation is very much called for by Vatican II. From the formation of Ecclesia Dei societies throughout the land to scouring the chancery rosters for sympathetic priests to say a Mass here and there at this time and that, to educating curious onlookers, to learning the chants, to teaching sympathetic but unfamiliar priests how the Mass is to be said to training altar boys to petitioning bishops for space, this has largely been an initiative of the laity, and as such, very much that which was desired by Vatican II.

Laity wanting heresy? Let us listen and accompany.

Laity wanting wanting to pray the Mass as their great grandfathers did? Let them be anathema. Put them in the gymnasium. Shut them down.

Much silliness.
