Only where there is mercy does cruelty end, only with mercy do evil and violence end. Pope Francis is totally in agreement with this line. His pastoral practice is expressed in the fact that he continually speaks to us of God’s mercy. It is mercy that moves us toward God, while justice frightens us before Him.
It is quite clear that Bishop Emeritus Ratzinger. thinks the Justice of God is cruelty and that the sola mercy praxis of the Holy Father is the way to go.
The heterodox error of separating Mercy from Justice is that Jesus is pitted against Himself for, in truth, He is both Justice and Mercy and dividing Him is the result of a vast liberal theological conspiracy.
It seems to ABS that Bishop Emeritus would not be at all forlorn if the Holy Father ditches Summorum Pontificum because when he was Pope, he described his Motu proprio as an act of tolerance:
Fr Federico Lombardi, S.J., Director of the Holy See Press Office: What do you say to those who, in France, fear that the "Motu proprio' Summorum Pontificum signals a step backwards from the great insights of the Second Vatican Council? How can you reassure them?
Benedict XVI: Their fear is unfounded, for this "Motu Proprio' is merely an act of tolerance, with a pastoral aim, for those people who were brought up with this liturgy, who love it, are familiar with it and want to live with this liturgy. They form a small group, because this presupposes a schooling in Latin, a training in a certain culture. Yet for these people, to have the love and tolerance to let them live with this liturgy seems to me a normal requirement of the faith and pastoral concern of any Bishop of our Church. There is no opposition between the liturgy renewed by the Second Vatican Council and this liturgy.

Come on, the difference between the Real Mass and the Lil' Licit Liturgy is like the difference between lightning and lightning bug (Mark Twain) and the reason we Catholics have so few Real Masses is that the hierarchy has abandoned the truth of the necessity of the Sacrifice of Propitiation - to appease God's anger against us for our uncountable number of sins - because He loves us just the way we are:
Even though John The Baptist, Jesus, and Saint Peter all began their ministry with calls for repentance, that mean praxis is from a time we have abandoned, for God loves us just the way we are - whether we are active sodomites, whether we are atheists, or whether we are divorced and shacked-up.
