The paper on the TLM was written by a Cardinal who once supported the premise of Summorum Pontificum as written by Pope Benedict XVI that there are two forms of the one Roman Rite, the normal or ordinary, the the other with special qualifications and thus called extraordinary, the 1962 Roman Missal.
Under Pope Francis, Cardinal Roche changed his tune and his colors. He now rejects what he once supported. And His Eminence goes so far as to micro manage bishops and their parishes saying that the 1962 Missal cannot be advertised in parish bulletins, truly Orwellian as Pope Leo would describe such nonsense.
Press the title for the discussions at the recently concluded and very brief Extraordinary Consistory of Cardinals.
The last part is Cardinal Roche’s written document, not read or discussed at the consistory but handed out to them to read:

Roche was for the TLM when Benedict was Pope. What an opportunist!
Father Z brilliantly eviscerated the Roche’s “arguments!”

Certain folks here have advanced the following claim:
Prior to 1968 A.D., Joseph Ratzinger had favored progressive reforms for the Church. Then, in 1968 A.D., Joseph Ratzinger had changed his mind supposedly in regard to his embrace of progressivism.
Therefore, if Joseph Ratzinger had the right to have done so, then Cardinal Roche is free to have changed his mind in regard to the TLM.

Rorate Caeli headline:
-- Attack on the Traditional Mass and on Orthodoxy in the consistory - Roche and Tucho Fernandez
That is from a blog which has attacked often the Holy Mass of Pope Paul VI, as well as Pope Francis' (requiescat in pace) orthodox teachings.

Supposedly the new placeholder sitting in Peter's chair has called Vatican II the "Guiding Star of the Church." Yeah.
Anyone with an ounce of honesty can see that the Vatican II has done for the Church what Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" has done for the black family in America.
Guiding Star? Seriously?
More like Black Hole.
Spot on!
You've posted links to (and relied on the opinions of) publications and authors that have denied defined dogmas and doctrines of the Church. Not exactly a good position from which to make this kind of accusation.
