"Don't leave the liturgical field to those small and vocal minorities, of whatever hue, who seem [sic!] obstinately to stand against the Holy Father and against the [failed] liturgical reform," ranted an angry Cardinal Roche, Prefect of Divine Worship during an 8 October lecture published in Music and Liturgy: The Journal of the Society of St Gregory, January 2023 (Matthew Hazell, Twitter.com, January 30).
Roche is "well aware that people sometimes talk about 'liturgy wars'" - which he is apparently afraid of losing.
"From what I understand, many of these battles today are carried out in cyberspace, where people with various agendas and motivations set themselves up as experts and interpreters of all things liturgical," he said. Roche himself has minimal training in liturgy.
He complains that "these keyboard warriors seem to have an outsize effect, particularly on seminarians" and polemicises against allegedly "distorted agendas" that are "so frequently aired through blogs, etc".
Roche should not complain too much, since he has the powerful anti-Christian oligarch media on his side.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
