" Actually, with the last liturgical reform, i.e. the New Mass, there was the will de facto to wipe the slate of the Church’s two thousand year history clean, with the idea of returning to some mythical golden-age of the Church’s beginnings – inventing a super-simplified liturgy which, mistakenly, wanted to go back to the time of the Apostles and Our Lord. If you ask some ordinary lay-folk, they will in fact tell you this, that the modern liturgy in its stripped-down simplicity, corresponds more with the simplicity of the Gospel. When all is said and done, many, including priests, think like this. They also think lovers of Tradition are weak individuals, who still need some ‘useless frills’ to live their faith.
In the end, even the shift to post-Summorum Pontificum biritualism is the fruit of this mistaken position: the concession of old things to the faithful who still need them, but at the same time [retaining] unambiguous support for the new liturgy, which [in the first place] was created to rid the Church of Her liturgical tradition.
The problem is very serious indeed and requires serious, rigorous judgment. The liturgical reform that followed Vatican II is unhealthy, seeing that it was created upon negative judgments about everything the Church had produced in the liturgical field from the age of Constantine onwards. It was created out of contempt for all the Church had added to Her liturgy over the course of centuries, which was always done to aid faith and prayer. "
