French Bishops: Tridentine Mass will not destroy the world

An article in The Universe quotes a leading French Cardinal (Cdl. Jean-Pierre Ricard) as reassuring the French bishops and priests that the soon to be released Universal Indult by Benedict XVI will not reverse the direction of the post Vatican II Church.

Apparently this is good news to the French (not reversing the direction of their country after Vatican II). Judging from the Mass attendance figures in France since Vatican II (5% attendance or less), one can only wonder what direction these people think is best for the Church.
