In his article "The Pope's Liturgical Liberalism", Fr. Neuhaus writes:

"The 1962 Missal does not say what Mr. Foxman says it says. And, if he had read Benedict’s apostolic letter before attacking it, he would know that it explicitly says that the Missal of 1970 will be used exclusively in the Triduum of Holy Week, which of course includes Good Friday."

He seems to be forgetting that Summorum Pontificum does provide for creating new personal parishes which use the 1962 books exclusively. Such parishes exist today, and the Good Friday prayers are never omitted. There is nothing in the Motu Proprio indicating that the Pauline Tridium is going to be imposed upon personal parishes, religious orders, or priestly societies which celebrate the 1962 books exclusively.

"The appeal of a Mass only in Latin is quite limited," said Tod Tamberg, spokesman for the Los Angeles Archdiocese, the largest in the U.S. His office estimates that about 650 people attend Latin Masses in the archdiocese each month.
