Again, if Francis wants eventually to confine the TLM to the FSSP and similar entities, that's fine with me, though it enriches and revitalizes many diocesan parishes (including my own) and brings TLM adherents firmly within the framework of the larger Church. If any harm or divisiveness comes of it, that would be news to me. Never been an issue anywhere I've seen.
And having the TLM in parish churches acts as a "self-cleansing agent" to weed out all those who doubt or deny the validity of the Novus Ordo Missae and post-Vatican II priestly orders, for as a practical matter, one must accept both, to assist at the TLM at such parishes (reception of reserved "Novus Ordo Hosts" at such Masses, among other things). I fail to see how that can be a bad thing.
