Here are some comments from John in the beautiful people's republic of California.  He posted them on an article in the archives,  The Latin Mass Returns to Vermont.  It is reposted here so that more visitors will see it.

It is the 1st of March 2008 and since last posting on this blog I can say they are still coming, more and more (most notably youth) are coming and continuing to come to the ancient Latin Mass. Sadly though, & it's only whispered, they, the ordinaries, bishops & novus ordo priests of the late 20th century vintage, particularly in California are not happy about the rebirth of the Tridentine liturgy. Quietly roadblocks are in place by some in chancery offices here on the sunny left coast and many of the cumbyya variety priests can't wait till the Holy Father dies and they can hopefully get a more "progressive/secularly inclined" pope. To this returning catholic that is the height of arrogance and disobedience and Rome needs to understand the Holy Father has as many enemies in the Church as outside it. It may be time to use good old fashioned excommunication & laicizing to clean house after forty years of pink revolution that has been occurring in Christ's own Church. These are the opines of a catholic who's returned home and still sees the same prelates in place that drove millions from the Church in the first place.
