Adoremus is entirely in line with the Holy Father. In fact, Cardinal Arinze has personally visited their offices. They also have an ample supply of accurate documentation. I believe that the Coalition in Support of Ecclesial Dei is also in line with the Holy Father, as well, since Ecclesia Dei is a Pontifical Commission.

This site gives excellent reviews on many liturgical websites.

Thanks for asking the question, for the information may be useful to many others.

The only one I knew of is Una Voce, which has been rated “caution.” I did not look up the others in your post, but the ones in the above link are all rated “danger.”

I’m curious, as to how Adoremus would be listed as danger, especially since Cardinal Arinze has personally visited their offices (and has blessed them)? I have actually found Adoremus to be most helpful in finding answers and Ms. Hitchcock has even been featured on EWTN. They are certainly very credible and are fully supportive of Pope Benedict XVI.

I know of these four, and they are bona fide, truly Catholic, obedient to the Magisterium, and dedicated to a reverent and solemn liturgy that reflects continuity with the whole of the tradition of the Latin Rite. Some of the people in these groups may prefer the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, but they are also concerned with a genuine reform of the liturgy (consistent with Sacrosanctum Concilium).

They are concerned about the “reform” that led to the current Ordinary Form of the Mass, and the environment in which it resides (which lends itself to confusion and abuses). Many of the practices and characteristics of the modern Mass were not envisaged by the Council Fathers. NLM and Adoremus seek the restoration of the solemnity due the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Ordinary Form, even if that means re-evaluating the liturgical reform (reforming the reform).
