I was (and still am) inspired by Benedict’s vision of mutual enrichment between the Novus Ordo and the TLM. And frankly, that view fairly common among priests my age. I don’t know the future, but I would bet the ‘Reform of the Reform’ will ultimately win the day, even if it is decades from now.

In our diocese we are blessed with multiple beautiful “reform of the reform” style parishes and I’m so grateful. I always want to be docile to the Church, but for me I hope not to be relegated to sloppy 90s style Masses nor have the (I think good in substance if not often in practice) reforms of V2 erased.
If Francis can "undo" Benedict with the wave of a pen, a future Pontiff can just as easily "undo" Francis, especially since all the life in the Church today is on the side of orthodoxy and tradition.

Agreed.
Yup. In it for the long haul.
