Cardinal Martini Speaks Out Against Latin Mass

No surprise here, is there?

A leading liberal cardinal in the Catholic Church says he will not celebrate mass in Latin, criticising Pope Benedict XVI's decision to allow for greater use of the old Latin mass.

Italian Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, who has broken with the Vatican on a number of issues, says he considers it important to have a common language for prayer.
. . .
Cardinal Martini has broken his silence on numerous occasions to counter Vatican positions on social issues including assisted procreation, the use of condoms and euthanasia.
How many people really care what this man has to say? Rather than being part of the sanctification and building up of the Mystical Body of Christ, he seems bent on tearing it down whenever he feels it's appropriate.
