@polisci4bimbos Well, the map is inaccurate as Bohemia voted for Ferdinand (and was quite literally the swing vote), though its diet later deposed him before he re-conquered it.

@yuanyi_z A fascinating alternate history could be written about a scenario where Richard Cromwell was somehow competent and Britain remained a Commonwealth (with hereditary succession) to the present... (similar to how Napoleon I was "Emperor of the French Republic" until 1809)

@polisci4bimbos Yeah Bohemia, which Ferdinand controlled, voted for him. Bohemia’s (largely Protestant) nobility had rebelled two days prior to make Frederick of the Palatinate King, but at the diet they didn’t know that and voted Ferdinand.

@LMSChairman And if it were really about promotion of the Ordinary Form, why wouldn’t he make promote Latin, ad orientem, etc. in the Ordinary Form that Sunday? Instead it seems like he wants people to go to “Gather”-esque masses rather than reverent ones (be they TLM or reverent NO).

@holysmoke I like +Barron a lot, and much of his work played a role in my conversion, but I don’t see why people consider him to be a “conservative?” Eg: He is a hopeful universalist. I don’t mean this as a critique of him, as he is ideal for evangelization, but he is at most a centrist.
