Thank you very much for publishing Dom Alcuin's incisive commentary. I hope that it finds a wide audience among those who most need to see it.
May I suggest changing the format slightly to make the parts taken from Cardinal Roche's document easier to distinguish from Dom Alcuin's rejoinder which follows.
I carefully read Dom Alcuin Reid's masterful takedown of Cardinal Roche's inept defense of Traditionis Custodes. If this was a heavyweight prizefight, it would have been a TKO in the first round. Dom Reid's essay informs us with perfect clarity all we need to know to defend the traditional Mass. There were so many passages from Dom Reid worth quoting and explaining to fellow Catholics. This one below resonated deeply with me. Thank you, Diana, once again for the exquisite subjects you have chosen for your articles. Blessings.
"In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.[34]"
Rather than suppressing the Traditional Latin Mass, can Cardinals Roche and Cupich be suppressed?? Just asking’
Many thanks to the author for this crucial article. She truly does what used to be called 'reporting'....
Why is Arthur Roche a Cardinal, but Dom Alcuin Reid is not?
It's already enough, isn't it?
It is highest time to throw all heretics out of the Church.
Let those two sweet, yet totally and completely unjustly neglected Latin words resound loudly again:
Anathema sit!
Romano Amerio in “Iota Unum” documents the ignorance of Catholic teaching by clergy in quote after quote from post-conciliar catechisms etc.

"In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture."
There it is, the 'hermeneutic' of 'continuity,' the fundamental lie of the gaslighting/gaslit Novus Ordo Church.
SORRY ...it's Diane, not Diana.
Hope this critique gets beyond the choir.
Roche or Cupich will never be confused with being the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier.
Ave Maria 🙏🏻
