Yeah...I've known about this schism somewhat intimately for two decades going back to Benedict. The Latin Mass feels more authentic to the Church's history but unless you know Latin, the meaning of Mass is lost and it becomes little more than ritualistic rites. Francis is not wrong that the Latin Mass adherents are often deeply conservative people who follow Viganò and, well, let's just say they're the anti-vaxxers in the Catholic Church.
