Arrow Question / Issue:

"How many bishops/cardinals are traditional and support the Latin Mass? Is it enough to turn things around?"

I wish I could provide you a long list of bishops & cardinals who favor tradition, but I'm afraid the list is not anywhere near as expansive as we might hope. Much of the time we are fortunate just to have a prelate not oppose tradition. That is the sad state of things today. Even so, things are better than they were just a few years ago when the TLM was offered under an "indult" – so there has been progress. It is a tough situation right now, but don't give up hope. The merciful Lord knows our plight. Christ went through His Passion, and now his body (the Church) is undergoing a sort of 'mystical passion' – but then we can expect this to be followed by a resurrection. Remember that there are many other tradition-minded Catholics out there, we are not alone. Although I don't know what the future will bring (however, I believe one cardinal predicted the end of the Novus Ordo within 50 years & and a very holy priest I know said there will always be the Traditional Latin Mass), all we can do is our own part. I would advise you to keep the traditions, trust God, stay within the diocesan structures, educate yourself (and others, if possible) concerning the Traditional Mass, and pray. Keep in mind that, ironically, the future of the Traditional Latin Mass may be in the hands of the laity (if enough laity want it, they will 'have to' provide it). God bless & keep you.
