In regard to the new Agatha Christie letter, it is not a matter of the "Extraordinary Form" or the "TLM" but a matter of it being... the Mass as it always has been. The people who signed the letter understand that the Mass, as offered for thousands of years, with its visual art, music, physical movements, and place in daily, weekly, annual, and the entire span of peoples' lives, is the underpinning of Western culture. These people appreciate those facts on an artist and cultural level, at least, and have an understanding of history to recognize what is happening is cultural suicide. Christians or not, they see this being done by people who either do not realize what they are doing/harming due to ignorance, do not care due to negligence, or actively hate the Church and the culture she created.
