The Pope’s official Twitter account has discovered the organic principle of the liturgy

 … but still no TLM for you!

This was posted recently on the Pope’s Twitter account:

The “plant paradigm”  mentioned here is a good symbol, and in fact the preeminent one, for the “organic” nature operative in “handing down” of the tradition of the sacred liturgy, which grew from the seed planted by Christ in His passion, death and resurrection, in His institution of the “Last Supper” and the sacramental nature of his sacrifice as handed on by the apostles in the apostolic tradition, resulting in what we have today in the traditional Latin Mass.

The pope claimed in Traditionis custodes that the two liturgies, old and new, were competing in the Church to the detriment of unity and, thus, the old had to go.

Not a little ironically the tweet also recommends letting various organisms and plants grow together harmoniously within the environment, as Benedict proposed in Summorum Pontificum, decreeing that the new Mass and the traditional Latin Mass should both be permitted to flourish together in the Church for the good of all.

Yes, I agree with the Pope (or his official tweeter): when the flowers of liturgical variety compete, they operate for the overall good of the spiritual “ecosystem” of the Church.

Well, with the banning of the traditional Latin Mass I guess some plants are not good enough to survive the scorched-earth modernism of this papacy, even at the price of grievous self-contradiction. Modernism does not make for good, prejudice-free, equal opportunity gardening.

No TLM for you!
