In an interview published yesterday on the Italian blog Messa in Latino, the 72-year-old Metropolitan Archbishop of Utrecht and Primate of the Netherlands explained why he decided to learn the vetus ordo. He said he has received considerable positive feedback after doing so, and noted that his first Pontifical High Mass brought together both regular attendees of the Traditional Latin Mass, including large numbers of young people and families, as well as Catholics more accustomed to the Novus Ordo. (Full interview, in English, at the site.)
