When Adam Cardinal Maida of the Archdiocese of Detroit authorized the celebration of the indult Tridintine liturgy at
St. Josaphat Church (right) beginning October 3, 2004, he observed:
"Those dioceses which have allowed the Tridentine liturgy hve experienced a rebirth of evangelization and outreach to a variety of people, especially those who felt alienated from the Church because of the liturgical renewal of Vatican II." (The Michigan Catholic [Sept. 24, 2004], p. 9)
Hey, why not? This way, everybody's happy: those who want a hootenanny performance can do their thing, and those who want the traditional liturgy of the Roman rite can do theirs. So what's to loose? A "free market" approach to liturgical alternatives might even help clean up the
Novus Ordo.
