There are young adults (and older ones) who resent being deprived of the TLM, who need to learn about forgiveness and circumspection.

But I don't think looking down on the 2002 missale romanum is nearly as big an abuse of the NO, as the people who minister at it (whether priest or lay) without regard for the rubrics or texts. To reform the NO, start cleaving to what it is, and liberally applying Sacrosanctum Concilium. No reference to the TLM required thus far.

I've heard this objection before, and it feels a bit like someone who routinely and badly abuses a close family member, becoming furious when an out-of-state cousin is rude to that family member.
