Monsignor Peter Elliott in his interview with Zenit (June AD2000) speaks of the problems he has 40 years after Vatican II, with sloppy ceremonies, verbosity, vulgar music, disobedience and sheer ignorance.

He then complains that the Church has suffered 30 years of banal and inaccurate texts, which has played into the hands of the "Lefebvrists."

I am one of those so-called "Lefebvrists", because I attend Masses celebrated by priests of the Society of St Pius X and will not accept the Novus Ordo Mass for the reasons which Monsignor Elliott himself is complaining about.
