Cardinal Arthur Roche recently addressed liturgical abuse in an interview with AdVaticanum. But while he condemned these abuses, there remains no formal mechanism to stop them. The contrast is hard to ignore: the Vatican operates with meticulous organisation when enforcing its liturgical vision…maintaining an iron-clad plan to suppress the Traditional Latin Mass…yet takes a hands-off approach to irreverence and scandal within ordinary parish walls. Why is there such a vast chasm between how these two issues are handled?
