The Cardinal states that TC hurts many good people, and that it was “a bitter surprise” for him, that the allegedly “widespread consultations” before the publication of TC avoided him, a former member of the Liturgy Congregation.
For Zen, justified reservations against the Novus Ordo (1970) regard the way in which it is carried out with its many serious abuses [which are tolerated by the popes and bishops].

I see GTV has a new seer. ;-) Suitably vague prediction, which is prudently cautious for newly fledged seers.
The question is not and never has been the mass of Pius V, it is the theology of Pius V and all the popes before Vatican II. We have to redouble our effort to know that theology and be ready to give an answer as to why Novus Ordo, along with Vatican II, contradicts the Catholic faith.
