Why did Pope Francis restrict the ancient Latin Mass?

Facebook has a Learning Latin group but they like to focus on classical Latin.
Here is a great site though

Exactly. My diocese has a centralized parish that is TLM-exclusive. That is 1 parish out of 81 parishes. I feel very strongly about how the Mass is said in the tongue that I personally pray and worship in (among other reasons).
I really do not feel as Pope Francis was against the TLM way of worship - in the US, it has become a "we are better than you" mentality. I'm not sure if it's that way in any other country, but some how our country has found a way to politicize NO vs TLM (but of course we did).

Go figure. We have to fights over worship style.
What language should the Mass really be in? Greek? Latin? Aramaic? Hebrew? Syrian?
Yes, to all of them. That is why we have different rites. How did we let it become competition?

By restricting it, making it scarcer. By being mean to the few who wanted it. A dozen years ago it was not that big a deal. Now it is.

I'd be a bit stronger to say, By being mean to the few who needed it. "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." (Jn 4:24) This is much more than merely "wanting" for souls hearing from God His holy desires, and hearing His Church working to accommodate something less. This is about much more than language. It is about worship.

Yes, like a lot of things, restricting it makes it more desired.
