In France, more mosques have been built in the last 30 years than Catholic churches in the past 100, and in fact the number of Catholic churches has declined.
Meanwhile, what really has the bishops of France in an uproar are rumors that the Tridentine Mass is going to have a universal Indult.
Glad to see they have their priorities in order. I’m sure they will enjoy their dhimmitude.

Frank: You are exhibiting a trait I seen often in certain circles. (This is not meant as an insult, just an observation.) You exhibit a “you’re either with or against us” attitude about the TLM.
Just because I have no particular preference doesn’t mean I’m opposed to the TLM. I think there should be a universal Indult. I think it should be celebrated wherever people ask for it.
I just wish most Traditionalists had the same attitude toward those of us who would prefer a reform of the reform, a “Novus Ordo as it should have been.”
Frank: I am not your enemy. An apostolic administration might be a good way to deal with this.
I don’t see what’s inconsistent with thinking that you have a right to the Tridentine Mass while I don’t particularly desire it.
You may like something and have a right to have it, but I don’t have to want it to defend your right. I don’t see why you’re making a big deal out of this.
You’re working too hard to turn an ally into an enemy and that’s just not the case.
There are many more of them than you think. I think many Traditionalists are so used to having a bunker mentality that they don’t stop to consider that there are plenty of people who think like me.
