I think this is a really strange take by the Pillar.

Ostensibly, based on what we are told, the problem with the Old Mass is that the people who offer it think they are a church unto themselves. But Fr. Pfleger and his congregation exemplify this mentality. If Traditiones Custodes is really about ecclesiastical unity then Fr. Pfleger and his congregation should be on the top of the list for correction, regardless of how difficult they make the life of the bishop. Cupich doesn’t seem to mind when traditionalists make a fuss about his policies.

I appreciate that the Pillar is trying to put a charitable reading onto Traditiones Custodes, but I don’t think such a reading exists. The document is the work of a collection of bitter ideologues trying to prop-up a failed life project. Sorry.
