The hypocritical mantra of progressive liturgists since Vatican II is that Catholics must accepted unity in diversity as it concerns the “renewal” of the Mass after Vatican II.
Yes, that means we are to accept all kinds of novelty as it concerns the Mass, especially inculturation. But the inculturation that is forbidden or mocked and derided is the Roman inculturated tradition with over 1,500 years of organic development.
This diversity excludes anything that smacks of traditional Roman inculturated Catholicism. Thus the hypocrisy of these progressives is revealed and has been out in the open ever since 1969.
I am sure progressive cardinals, bishops, clergy and laity had a good belly laugh at this. How outrageous that Pope Benedict used lace, Roman vestments and the papal fannon and that there were cardinals acting as cardinal deacons. (By the way, when Pope Benedict first wore the papal fannon at a public Mass, your truly was the first blog in the world to report it! Yes, you read that correctly, my blog was the first in the world to report it!)
This splendid liturgy is mocked and derided by post-Catholics. But they embrace with gusto burlap and felt banners!

They are also hypocrites in that they demand everyone accept the new Mass but they themselves do not accept those provisions in the new Mass that allow for a traditional form of the Mass.
As a convert, I never understood the self-loathing progressive Catholics. Yet, no matter what the progressive Catholics do in Rome, tradition has won.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, this is the reason I never liked the Novus Ordo right from the beginning. There was something palpably phony and forced about it and when the guitars and various abuses followed in short order it degenerated into pandering. Even worse was that it was pandering to people who had no interest in following the Catholic faith in the first place.
The entire dictatorial, imposing, intolerant and rigid liturgical bullying Catholics are living through right now is rooted in a deep intellectual dishonesty. That is one of many reasons this farcical Novus Ordo establishment will fail and fall. It cannot sustain itself. I might not live to see it, but future generations will look back on us, laughing and shaking their heads in bewildered amusement at our folly.
