If there is one bright spot to Bergoglio's impiety and sacrilege promotion, it is this: That it will make the revocation of the Novus Ordo and the whole post-concicilar raft of novelties a pre-condition for the restoration of Catholicism. No longer can it be said that the Novus Ordo revolution can be salvaged.

It turns out that I am not the only one who feels this way, and a very prominent priest,  Fr. Abbe Claude Barthe,  agrees with me:

Abbé Barthe: On the contrary. I think we are witnessing a crucial moment of Post-Conciliar history. It's hard to say what the consequences will be of that which we are experiencing, but it will be considerable. And despite everything, I'm sure that it will be positive in the end. First of all, I am safe by faith because the Church has the words of eternal life. I am also confident a very real way, because the need for a return to the Magisterium, the teaching that is actually one, will emerge more clearly in the future.

Judging from his words and his tone, he seems to be a very faithful priest, the sort of person with whom one wants to be in agreement.

Okay, so he does not spell it outright that the Novus Ordo must be discarded to the trash heap of history, but a return to the Magisterium cannot but entail ditching the protestanised Novus Ordo - the Mass and the Church's general outreach - and returning to authentic hard-identity Catholicism, the stuff of saints and legend, and the stuff that saves souls and builds civilisations.
