Kudos to @RaymondArroyo for interviewing @BishopAthanas1 on @WorldOverLive. His Excellency spends a good amount of time discussing #TraditionisCustodes.

Regarding #TraditionisCustodes, @BishopAthanas1 observes that "behind this Motu Proprio there is another agenda," namely, a "decisive rejection of Tradition".

When asked how the "Ordinary Form" (Novus Ordo) and "Extraordinary Form" (TLM) should "co-exist", @BishopAthanas1 emphasized that they are "quite different" and that it would be "more honest" to identify them as "two rites" — something @Pontifex has done, invoking "bi-ritualism".

Ultimately, @BishopAthanas1 explains, "the Novus Ordo has to go back to the essence of the Traditional Rite of All Times."

His Excellency @BishopAthanas1 has a new book due out in January 2022 from @SophiaPress (written with @AurelioPorfiri) entitled, "The Catholic Mass: Steps to Restore the Centrality of God in the Liturgy".
