Pope St John Paul II granted an indult for the celebration of Mass according to the 1962 Roman Missal of St John XXIII. This was done, in part, because of a number of abuses whereby certain priests and laity rejected the Roman Missal promulgated by Bl Pope Paul VI. Pope Benedict XVI then changed the law to allow Masses using the Roman Missal of 1962.
What was once done by indult is now permitted by the law itself.
If our criteria for judging whether or not an act is legitimate is to say that if it was previously being done by way of an indult which was granted in response to abuses, then how should we view the current day use of the 1962 Roman Missal?
It would seem to me, that following the logic of your posts, we should be mobilizing to end the use of the Extraordinary Form.
