For convenience, here are the links to the preceding roundups:
- “Roundup of Major Reactions to Traditionis Custodes” (last version published July 22)
- “Continuing the List of Articles on Traditionis Custodes” (July 23)
- “Further Articles on the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes” (July 28)
After today, although I’m quite confident people will continue to write (and to write well) about the motu proprio, I will — for my own sanity, and in order to move on to other topics and projects — no longer gather them into lists like this.

Cardinals Burke and Müller discuss the motu proprio (EWTN)
The Latin Mass & Correcting the Pope w/ Msgr Charles Pope (Pints with Aquinas)
July 23
Philippa Martyr: “So, what about the new Mass?” [Author laments that nothing has really been done to correct the bad celebration of the NOM after fifty years—and then expresses a hope that finally we will do something about it. Naivete, meet dictionary. It’s as if the author has never read a single deep-level critique of the Bugninian-Montinian liturgical reform.]

Christopher Carstens, “Guardians of Tradition” (Adoremus Bulletin)
July 28
Bishop Paprocki: “The problem has not been solved, but tensions have been heightened” (Catholic World Report)

July 29
Interview with Fr Claude Barthe on Pope Francis’ Motu Proprio (The Blue Flower)
J.D. Flynn, “‘Traditionis custodes’ and unhelpful observations” (The Pillar) [Flynn has been much criticized for his comments. He seems to be unaware that the explicit intention of the motu proprio is the eventual liquidation of part of the Catholic Church and that it is appropriate to respond strongly in self-defense.]

Ken Wolfe, “Let them pray in Latin: On the latest edict from Rome” (New York Daily News)
Shaun Blanchard, “Traditionis Custodes Was Never Merely About the Liturgy” (Church Life Journal) [An ideological manifesto for Pope Francis’s regime, which sees T.C. as the crowning achievement of the hard-fought assertion of the authority of Vatican II. Not a surprise from one who applauds the Synod of Pistoia as a council ahead of its time.]
Joseph Shaw, “‘The attempt to suppress the traditional liturgy could mobilize interest in it’: Liturgy professor blasts Traditionis Custodes” (LifeSite News)
Phillip Campbell, “Cardinal Cicognani on Canonical Dissimulation” (Unam Sanctam Catholicam) [An additional tool that bishops have in their toolkit for minimizing the damage of TC.]
Joseph Shaw and Fr. Anthony Ruff, “Two Views on Liturgical Reform: Joseph Shaw (Latin Mass Society) and Anthony Ruff (Pray Tell)” (posted simultaneously at Rorate Caeli and PrayTell) [The divergence of visions here is, in itself, fascinating; Fr. Ruff’s responses are chillingly authoritarian and unilateral, Shaw’s logical and pragmatic]
Jane Pilato, “Why I, an Agnostic, Love the Latin Mass” (Clarifying Catholicism)
Archbishop Thomas E. Gullickson, “It’s all about the Violence: Why would anyone pretending to be of Christ’s Church lash out at the lambs?” (Rorate Caeli)

Interview with Fr. Anthony Ruff, “Do Pope Francis and Pope Benedict disagree about Vatican II and the traditional Latin Mass?” (America) [A most revealing interview, showing the contempt with which the liturgical progressives regard most of the Church’s history and practice of worship]
