Archbishop Di Noia recently claimed that the Faithful’s hunger for the Traditional Mass “has gotten totally out of control and become a movement, especially in the United States, France, and England…” The former vice-president of Ecclesia Dei declared that “Pope Francis is right to see in the repristination of the pre-conciliar liturgy at best a form of nostalgic dalliance with the old liturgy and at worst a perverse resistance to the renewal inspired by the Holy Spirit…” (20 July 2021)
The dictionary defines “dalliance” as: A casual romantic or sexual relationship. We condemn the use of such vile language speaking about what Pope Saint John Paul II called “rightful aspirations.”
