WHY ARE NOT THEY THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE RE-ENCHANTMENT OF THE MODERN OR NOVUS ORDO OF THE MASS?????
I don’t know if the final solution for the TLM will take place under this papacy or not. But let’s say they succeed in suppressing the TLM altogether.
What then?
Young priests and laity must start reenchanting the modern Mass.
Chant the propers in Latin as well as the parts of the Mass.
Chant the Mass ad orientem or if the bishop says no to that, do so with the Benedictine altar arrangement and the choreography of the TLM especially for servers.
Allow for kneeling for Holy Communion.
Prior to Summorum Pontificum, this was the goal, to reenchant the Modern Mass.

While I long for the days of peasant mobs storming the Vatican with torches, yelling, "Give us a new Pope!!".
I think that’s a good idea, but what happens when your tradition embracing parish gets a guest priest that isn’t traditional? I had that happen to my parish recently. It was dreadful and a reason the missal of St. Paul VI doesn’t work. The priest in the traditional Latin Mass isn’t the center of the Mass in comparison to the freewheeling Novus Ordo. I don’t know what God’s intentions are regarding our current terrible leadership or the potential complete suppression of the TLM, but it’s a bad recipe for a godless world to have faithless shepherds.
These young priests will be in charge someday and the reflowering of Catholicism will commence. There is something spiritually and psychologically wrong with the geriatrics running Rome
I am afraid chant is no safer than the Latin mass, it reeks of the Latin mass and would eventually be suppressed by current crowd for same non-reasons they give for the Mass suppression....they are not after a language but after anything reminding them of the old ways of worship.
I hate the "reenchantment" word as used to death by Kingthsnorth, Drehrer et al, buzz-worded until it barely a faint hum, not as blandly neutral as "sense of the numinous", smacking more as an appeal to fantasy readers and new age folk seeking magic, while studiously ignoring old/bad "holy" and "sacred".
