Traditional Chartres Pilgrimage

[benedicite]

There were so many people that they could not accommodate them all. Could this be a sign of a renewal?

It's a positive article, however this always irks me:

This is also the conclusion of Père Danziec, a well-known pseudonymous commenter in the French Catholic media, who in a tweet compared the attachment to the Traditional Latin Mass to an "irresistible wave."

No, Trads aren't "attached" to the TLM.  We reject Vatican II and we reject the Abomination of Desolation where it should not be, the novus ordo.

So let's rewrite it and correct his mistake:

This part in the article is interesting:

For him, the broadening of the "sounding board" of the Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Christendom is a manifestation of Cardinal Louis-Édouard Pie's 1855 prophecy that "Chartres will become, more than ever, the center of devotion to Mary in the West, and people will flock to it, as in the past, from all parts of the world."

Chartres Pilgrimage was always pretty large.  When the SSPX joined in years ago I remember it being close to capacity then.

No doubt the number of Trads is growing.  But it is not doubling every five years.  It's just compound growth which over time adds up to a large increase.
