text: Just to be clear, I do not "scoff at Catholics who love the Latin Mass and tradition"; and it would be against my religion, so to speak, to do anything like that. And I entirely agree with your sentiment regarding uniformity: uniformity imposed from above, and conformity acquiesced in from below, are great evils in Catholic tradition, which we should resist.
  
  But in that connexion, I do not at all see that it is "the progressive wing of the Church" that is most guilty of forcing uniformity. Quite the contrary. And in fact, in the NY Times article I referred to, what I deplore is, not at all anyone's love of the Latin Mass, but the attitude of some of them, and plainly of their advocate the author, who seem to believe that theirs is the ONLY authentic form of Catholicism, and e.g. look on the vernacular Mass of Paul VI as a meaningless "jamboree." Talk about forcing uniformity! Talk about scoffing!
