Mark, thank you very much, specifically, for this posted article. Previously, in an article, you said that rather than TLM, you desire more of the Traditional Roman Liturgy. I did not know what is the difference---nor does google search; duckduckgo didn't even bother to open a page of possibilities! But, herein, you've clarified your meaning of distinction. Thanks.

Also, another small but intriguing clue: Leo’s coat of arms has restored the papal tiara, after the novelty, introduced by Benedict and imitated by Francis, of replacing it with the mitre.

Incredible as it may sound, there are indications that Dolan and Burke were at least involved in Prevost’s candidacy. Some are even saying they played the role of kingmakers. If this is true, it may explain how/why the TLM has made such an unexpected reappearance at Santa Maria Maggiore. Also, it seems that Burke and Dolan worked with the African and Asian cardinals to achieve this result. YouTuber Anthony Stine says he has heard from several sources in Rome that this is what happened.

Ukraine shows a weird coalition and axis between right wing fascism and homosexuality. Serving the Latin Mass doesn’t necessarily mean one is not a ‘progressivist’.

Think Leo XIII and the retrieval of CST…there is no “resisting” the Digital Paradigm and the complete retrieval of the spiritual and scared…everywhere on the planet…;)

Ha! Catholic Social Teaching. This is why he took Leo as his name. Bringing back Leo XIII and concern about modernism up into the Digital Paradigm.
