The premise of the conspiracy theory of a one world religion gains traction where it shouldn’t.

I find it amusing that Cdl. Mueller is referred to as one of the “ultra-conservative” and “traditionalist” cardinals in the piece. Overton windows, I suppose. I’d imagine he’d find it amusing, or at least surprising, as well.
“It’s not possible to render worship to God and at the same time make a battleground of liturgy for questions that aren’t essential…” I guess the obvious question if that if these are truly non-essential questions, then why was Benedict’s mostly successful ceasefire called off by his successor, who seems to be the main aggressor?
