Lumen ad revelationem
Tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi. Ps 15:5 My eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of every people. With these words, the aged Simeon praises …
On the other hand, the feast of the Circumcision “morphed” into the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and hence became another Marian holy day. “Mother of God”, how offensive is that to Protestants? And completely destroys ++Vigano’s anti-Marian, pro-Protestant conspiracy nonsense.
The typical hysterical and conspiratorial fake news we’ve come to expect from Abp.

This type of subversion is why we simply hold fast to the pre-Pius XII Holy Week rites.
The oft-repeated retort by 1962 apologists, quoting Lefebvre, that “if it is not against the faith, we must accept it” falls on deaf ears, because obviously this kind of subversion is clearly against the faith, even if not strictly heretical.
