What Will Change with the Abolition of Summorum Pontificum? Nothing
The blog explains that Francis is incapable of perceiving the Church's supernatural dimension and the mystery expressed in the liturgy, “For him, the Church is merely a factor of power destined, at best, to maintain a certain social order.”
Consequently, liturgy is for him a “decadent and unnecessary luxury” and an unjustified “waste of time” and those who like the liturgy must necessarily be “sick,” or “rigid” – in any case “they are not normal people.”
Caminate makes the interesting point that “the situation would not change at all” if Summorum Pontificum were limited in the way it has been leaked: the old rite institutes would not be touched, only diocesan priests which would need the permission of their bishops “which was already the case.”
The blog explains that “the power to authorise or not to authorise the Roman Rite was, in fact, always in the hands of the diocesan bishop” because the implementing authority – the ex-Commission Ecclesia Dei - had no power of coercion to enforce the norm.
