"This points out what I believe is the weakest flaw of the anti-TLM crowd. They justify the suppression of the Latin Mass by pointing out how some TLM attendees have schismatic or anti-V2 attitudes. But based on that logic we should take away the Novus Ordo because a vast majority of its attendees use contraception support gay marriage and is the Mass that proponents of female ordination attend. If we are suppressing liturgical forms based on the views of attendees we might as well abandon the concept of liturgy altogether because it will always be celebrated by imperfect sinful people. So"
