This article in America is well worth the read. Cardinal Scola could have been Benedict XVII…but alas. But his words are words of reason and conciliation and truly Catholic. Press the title for the complete article.
But for those progressive liturgists still counting the number of angels dancing a the head of a pin as it concerns actual participation in the reformed Mass, this is what Cardinal Scola has to say about the all more important actual participants of the Mass:
While “there are many beautiful experiences in the church in Europe, there is a real decline in true participation in the life of the church and a decline of the figure of Jesus among our people and especially a decline in their belonging to the Christian community,” Cardinal Scola said.

I would hope the good cardinal would condemn "harsh and insolent attacks" on traditional Catholics. But at least Cardinal Scola sounds like he is more grounded in the present day reality than most cardinal.
If he did, and I think he would, he did so privately. Read what he wrote about that….
Father McDonald,
Thanks for your response. I will read it more carefully.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I read the comments to the article and it appears the readers are largely leftwing
