“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

The Archbishop of Paris, Most Rev. Michel Aupetit, issued a letter to priests of that venerable see about Traditionis custodes.

“du-Travail” Oh, the irony. Can the Archbishop have not noticed? Or did he quickly dismiss an uncomfortable fleeting thought?
I can’t help but think the some bishops did not, at the practical level, welcome TC. “Just what I need, another headache.” Perhaps this is a case where a prelate felt preassured to Do Something to appease Rome, but kept it minimal. Not minimal to the priest and parishioners, but in the larger scheme. “Okay, I’ll throw Rome a bone.”
Some bishops must be feeling Moral Injury in this. We need to pray for them. Perhaps the ones not feeling Moral Injury need our prayers even more.
FranzJosf says: Moral Injury
This is an important category of affliction.
Bishops? They have the power.
Think of all the priests out there who will be forced against their inclinations, moral rights, commonsense, and the pleas of the faithful to refuse to do something that is entirely legitimate? What, over time, will Traditionis – in the hands of the despotic or the feckless – do to them?

“Poor” areas are synonymous with “Muslim” in Paris. I’m guessing he wanted to look like he was doing something, so he closed the two that were probably sparsely-attended.
I could be wrong, though. It’s been a while.

My Son and I visited Paris 17 years ago. The churches that prayed the TLM were packed. Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur had some tourist. Most interesting was when we took a wrong turn while walking and ended up in the red light district. While turning to make a quick exit we came upon a storefront chapel with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. We went into to pray. It was filled to capacity. God help Paris.
“Paris vaut une messe.”
Every time I traveled to Paris, or more properly Rueil-Malmaison for business, my church of choice for the Sunday obligation was always Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet.
Are not the great Gothic Cathedrals of France, especially Notre Dame and Chartres, so beloved by these same bishops? Even the liberals of France respect these monolithic testaments of beauty; think Victor Hugo and even today, the massive movement from all sides to restore Notre Dame to its original glory. Is it really that easy to forget that the culture which built these cathedrals was nourished and inebriated by the Latin Mass, at its height in the Middle Ages?
