The Consequences of Traditiones Custodes

It is still early days to draw conclusions, but there does seem to be evidence from America that since the promulgation of Traditionis Custodes, there has been an upsurge in interest in the older form of the Mass.  Unlike here, the USA's secular press has taken an interest in the subject, and it seems that people who have not been supporters of the Latin Mass have suddenly become advocates of tradition.  Even the liberal leaning Jesuit magazine, America, is warning against a backlash.

Here in England and Wales, one measurable reaction is the number of people joining the Latin Mass society.  I understand that the office cannot cope with the number of applications that it is receiving.
