The Motu Proprio and the Catholic Left/Right─ The contradiction of the modern Catholic ─ UPDATED

It seems to me that there are some serious deficiencies in the modern Catholic, both liberal and conservative, in terms of how they argue against the freeing up of the most venerable Old Latin Mass. Here are a couple of the arguments, simplified, but maintaining the essence of the objections.
1a. Listen, hardly anybody [...]

Motu Maniacs!!! AHAHAHAHAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Yeah, so I like the Old Roman Rite. Is that so bad? I mean, what’s wrong with liking tradition? Isn’t that why I left the Protestant religion? So be nice to me… I am not a maniac… well, mostly. But I do think the real Motu Maniacs are those who [...]

Just in case anyone [...]
