WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE PROBLEM OF THE TLM? CREATE A TLM ORDINARIATE AND START WITH THE FSSP!

IS THAT ROBERT CARDINAL PREVOST CELEBRATING THE TLM AND USING ROMAN VESTMENTS AND HIS GRANDMOTHERS LACE OF AN ALB?????


 It seems to me that maybe a TLM Ordinariate using the existing FSSP is one option for Pope Leo to create in dealing with the problem of the TLM and he could name bishops from the priests of the FSSP or the other orders which primarily celebrate the TLM.

Then His Holiness could allow them entry into any part of the world to set up parishes under a bishop of the TLM Ordinariate as it is done with the Anglican Ordinariate and also with the Eastern Rites, which are in Latin Rite Dioceses, but not under the Latin Rite bishop.

I believe it's been pretty definitively established that Cardinal (Bishop?) Prevost was celebrating a Novus Ordo ad orientem in the pictured Mass. Of primary note--no maniple, and (though this is less conclusive) no pontificals.

The idea of an ordinariate is an interesting, and almost tantalizing, one that could reconcile the various teachings about the worthiness and importance of celebrating the TLM in the modern day with the "unicity" of the Roman Rite. It could also allow traditionalists and non-traditionalists to leave each other alone where necessary and cooperate where possible, as occurs with the "Anglican" ordinariate communities.

But I'm sure there would be unintended negative consequences, and I'm not sure those have really been examined at length.
