That was my point about the prospect of revising the GIRM. Ultimately, sustainable ROTR would seem to require that.

There are two things meant by the ROTR. I’m referring to choosing the most traditional option within the Novus Ordo rubrics. You’re referring to the older definition, a full rewrite of the Novus Ordo along traditional lines. That’s unlikely in the next 100 years, but it’s a great academic and ad experimentum concept between now and then. One day, there will be a unified Roman Rite and no one will fight about it.

Agree with JD and I also take your point. I was lucky that I was part of a Dominican parish with a stable community of young friars from which the Pastor of the parish is chosen. You just aren’t going to sweep away the music and liturgical norms of the parish in that situation . Yes RoR will actually need to take place at the global level. In the meantime, under TC, your plan to introduce TLM to a parish is a non starter

My plan is to move a crappy parish to a reformed one within five or more years. By then, Francis the Terrible will be dead and we’ll have a Catholic Church to be proud of again. And TLM Liberty comes with that.
